Bugzilla is a general-purpose Bug-tracking tool originally developed and used by the Mozilla Foundation . Since Bugzilla is Web -based and can be considered both Free Software and Open-source Software , it is also the Bug Tracking tool of choice for many projects, both open source and Proprietary .

Bugzilla relies on an installed Web Server , such as Apache , and a Database Management System , such as MySQL or PostgreSQL , to perform its work. Bugs can be submitted by anybody, and will be assigned to a particular developer. Various status updates for each bug are allowed, together with user notes and bug examples.

Bugzilla's notion of a Bug is very general; for instance, Mozilla .org uses it to track feature requests as well.
