When you code something bigger than Hello World, it will have bugs. You can’t create any project without bugs. Bug tracker makes its easier to manage bugs. Especially when there is many developer and there is lots of bugs.

Some developers wants something like Bugzilla, but it may be little hard to install and configure. If you want something simple and quick to install, try Mantis. Its PHP/MySQL based bug tracker.

Mantis has many features and it works well with almost any kind of project you are working on. One feature I like a lot is ability to have many projects under one bug tracker. So I can do one install of  Mantis and then manage all of my bugs in one place.

So if you need simple bug tracker, PHP based bug tracker or just a good bug tracker, try Mantis.
