Web developers are continually pushing the technical and creative boundaries when building sites. Within the dynamically evolving world of website development, not only new trends and tools are coming that make the web experience a delight for users but furthermore elaborate and time-consuming for developers but also to mention the challenge to ensure that every part of the project been achieved.

The most important thing is getting the website up and running as soon as possible. This is because of teams could be across different places, clients being located in different time zones, so developers like ourselves will need tools that can make the job easier when it comes to collaborating over bugs and issues. Web Development has slowed down tremendously because of emails that get exchanged between stakeholders when trying to explain the problems on the site

You will see in some bug tracking tools such as Bugzilla or Redmine that they aren’t up to the mark when it comes to making web development a bit easier and these tools have lack of ability to be able to provide contextual feedback to teams.

Recreating a bug is as an issue as is solving the bug and teams are forced to set up servers and databases for hosting some bug tracking tools.
