Mantis

We use Mantis software as a main CT2 Tasks and Bugs Management System.

CT2 Mantis home: http://mantis.jaguarfreight.com/mantis/main_page.php

For any job related to CT2 there is a task in mantis.

Every task is always assigned to someone at any moment in time.

Same task could "travel" from one person to another. For example it could be assigned to developer and then later to QA.

Task would often go through development phases during its lifetime. Each such development phase has its own "folder" called "Project" in Mantis. For example, task to create new component would be posted originally into "Specs" mantis folder and once specs are complete moved into "Dev(elopment)" mantis folder. After task is ready for QA it would be moved to "QA" mantis folder and so on.

For each job title (QA or developer or...) there is a specific CT2 workflow and therefore specific mantis worflow. At the same time there is a lot in common. Some use cases are same for everyone.
