We all know that there are many defect tracking tools on the internet which is used by the software organizations to improve the quality of the software such as JIRA, Bugzilla, Mantis, Redmine etc. But the most famous defect tracking tools are JIRA and Bugzilla which are widely used in the software organizations nowadays. So, let's get started with a brief understanding of them.
