This page contains a listing of Addons, Utilities, and other applications that can integrate with Bugzilla. If you know of something that's not listed here, feel free to add it (this is a wiki after all). If it doesn't fit in one of the existing categories, feel free to add a new category.

Remember, nothing listed here is officially recommended by the Bugzilla Team (nor are they necessarily not recommended), so use these at your own risk. This is just a collection of things we know about or that people have told us about or posted here.


End-User Utilities

Desktop Clients

  • Bug Shooting (website) - Bug Shooting is a screen capture utility for software developers who uses Bugzilla. Bug Shooting provides an easy way to create screen captures and attach them to Bugzilla bugs, e.g. in order to report a bug or to explain an improvement suggestion visually.

  • ALM Works Deskzilla (website) - Deskzilla provides the user with an Outlook-style rich interface to your Bugzilla. It is a desktop client that allows you to search and make modifications to bugs even when working offline (offline changes are synchronized later with possible field-by-field conflict resolution). There are features that facilitate planning and managing projects, like nested queries, by-field distributions, arranging bugs in a hierarchy, query counters that immediately show the number of bugs satisfying a query. For Agile development, Deskzilla can be used to maintain backlog order by using a custom field to hold order value. Deskzilla also comes with a bundled screenshot capture & edit tool and integrates with IntelliJ IDEA and Visual Studio IDEs.
  • Tasktop (website) - Tasktop is a desktop client that includes rich editing and querying for Bugzilla tasks based on Eclipse Mylyn. Tasktop supports offline reading and editing as well as task change notifications so there's no need to receive emails from Bugzilla. Tasktop also includes advanced time tracking and reporting facilities, great for determining what tasks and projects you have been spending time on, helping to hone estimates, and complete time sheets. Tasktop also includes facilities for scheduling your tasks whether they are from Bugzilla, another supported repository, or your personal tasks. Integration with your web browser, Google or Outlook calendar and Google or Outlook email allow you to organize your entire work day.
  • Splatter (website) - Splatter is an open source bugzilla client for the Gnome desktop. You can create multiple complex queries across multiple bugzilla installations, and view/comment on any bug.

When questions arise to a specific task, one click will get to the details of all work items associated to the task. Color coded ticket statuses enable managers to easily identify any potential schedule delays.
  • Projzilla (website) Projzilla allows you to create Microsoft Project files from Bugzilla. This enables users to quickly generate Project files and help Project Managers evaluate the state of their projects.

Integration with Source Code Management utilities

(This section covers user-oriented add-ons that work with local working directories and Bugzilla -- for add-ons that work with repositories and Bugzilla see the similarly named section in the Server-side Utilities section)

  • git-send-bugzilla (website) git-send-bugzilla is a utility to upload a changeset from your git client workspace as a patch to a Bugzilla bug.

Client libraries for the Bugzilla Webservices/REST API

(This section contains client libraries in various programming languages, simplify using the Bugzilla Webservices/REST API.)

  • BZ::Client is a Perl module, which provides a client side API, which is relatively close the the server side API.
  • Bugzproxy is a C# based assembly that provides an OO client side API. It can be used to build commandline tools, VS 2005 integration, etc. Works with Linux/Mono.

Server-side Utilities

Administration

Moving Components Between Products

Mozilla wrote some scripts to move components from one product to another, and sync flags, milestones and versions between products. They were last used on Bugzilla 3.2 and come with no warranty, but may be useful starting points if you need to do the same thing. You can find them here (check out the bmo-4.0 repo from bzr).

Bugzilla Extensions

These are server-side Bugzilla Extensions that can be installed in the "extensions/" directory of Bugzilla 3.6 and above.

This list should be kept in alphabetical order.

  • BzAutoComplete.png
    AutoComplete This is an extension for Bugzilla that replaces the user list, which is display if 'usemenuforusers' is enabled, with a jquery powered autocomplete text box. (Note: Not required in Bugzilla 4.0, which implements autocomplete.)
  • AssigneeList Allows Bugzilla to use a list of users defined by admins to be used as possible assignees for components/bugs
  • Env4AD This Bugzilla extension provides a new auth_login_method that extends the default Bugzilla::Auth::Login::Env. It is especially useful if you want single sign on using mod_kerb and Active Directory but your ADs userPrincipleName is not a valid email address. It also sets a proper full name.
  • InlineImages Allows users to see images in line but does not load them on the page by default. Lets users have a quick way to see images if they want without making the page load any slower for those who are less graphically inclined.
  • Sitemap Allows Bugzilla to be indexed by Google and other search engines.
  • Splinter Adds the ability to perform patch review on Bugzilla attachments. When a user uploads a patch to a bug, a link will appear next to the attachment to allow the reviewer to comment on the patch that's then added to the bug report. Also a reviewer can set a review flag from within the Splinter extension. The 4.0 version of the Splinter extension has also been tested to work well on 3.6 as well. If any changes are made that make this no longer true, a separate 3.6 repository will be created.
  • TraceParser Parses stack traces that are pasted into comments, formats them nicely when comments are displayed, automatically detects duplicate traces when filing bugs, allows finding traces similar to the one you're viewing, and shows most-frequently-reported traces.
  • VCS Version Control Integration for Bugzilla! Allows associating bugs with commits in your version-control system (sometimes also called an "SCM" or "Software Configuration Management" system), and displaying information about those commits on the bug view page, with a link to see more details about the commits directly from your version control system.

IRC Bots

Bots that can inhabit IRC channels and announce bug changes and/or perform queries

  • supybot Bugzilla plugin -This plugin for supybot can query, report changes for, and describe attachments and bugs in multiple different Bugzilla installations. It even works across multiple IRC networks. It is highly configurable on a per-channel basis, and written by one of the primary authors of Bugzilla itself. It is currently being used by GNOME and the Bugzilla project itself.
  • BZBot (direct download) - announce bug changes and perform simple milestone-based status mini-reports.
  • BZBot-bgo (direct download) - GNOME's modified version of BZBot
  • MozBot (web site) - MozBot is a general-purpose IRC bot with lots of addon modules. It ships with a module for Bugzilla that lets you perform queries against your Bugzilla and also can announce bug changes. On irc.mozilla.org we no longer use bzbot, because this module can do most of what he used to do, but if all you want is bug change announcements, MozBot might be overkill. Note: The tarballs of MozBot on the FTP server as of this writing are VERY outdated, and do not contain a working Bugzilla module. You must check MozBot out of the Mozilla CVS repository to get a working Bugzilla module.

Data harvesting

Scripts and utilities for getting useful data out of Bugzilla

  • Bugs Dashboard - (browser based) - Test any of dozens of versions of Bugzilla (MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle from v3.0 to 3.6rc1). Portal dashboards with over 30 portlets for reporting and visualizing bugs. Extend it by creating your own plugins. Drag-and-drop priorities and severities. Many community, open source, portlets available. Graphical interface for managing widgets and dashboards.
  • Dashboards (website) - Desktop based Bugzilla Dashboards. You can connect to your Bugzilla database and run the pre-canned Dashboard queries.
  • Bugzilla Printable Reports This is a open source PHP script that shows bugs in a printer friendly format. Comes with a simple form to filter a bug search.

Quips

  • bzquips (Svn repo) - Some computer-science related quips that I liked, and added to one site's Bugzilla installation. Warning: light profanity in klortho's quotes.
