Scmbug is a system that integrates software configuration management (SCM) with bug-tracking.

It aims to be a universal tool that will glue any source code version control system (such as CVS, Subversion, and Arch) with any bug-tracking system (such as Bugzilla and Mantis).

Those who do not use a software configuration management (SCM) system do not maintain a history of modifications performed to their software. When bugs creep in their software, they do not have adequate information on how changes to source code came about.

Scmbug is a FREE software for bug-tracking and configuration management also know as SCM.

SCM systems, or even simple source code version control systems, make sure that a record of all changes and enhancements to the software is maintained. They provide a method of creating, storing, and labeling software changes.

Those who do not use a bug-tracking system tend to rely on shared lists, email, spreadsheets and/or Post-It notes to monitor the status of defects. This procedure is usually error-prone and tends to cause those bugs judged least significant by developers to be dropped or ignored.

Integrated defect-tracking systems make sure that nothing gets swept under the carpet; they provide a method of creating, storing, arranging and processing defect reports and enhancement requests.

Here are some key features of "Scmbug":
Provide synchronous verification checks of SCM actions against the bug-tracking system.
Provide a flexible architecture that can be deployed across the public Internet with reasonable security. Permit integrating repositories hosted by multiple SCM systems in separate networks, against a single, publicly accessible bug-tracking system, for use with multiple mobile developers.
Define an SCM to bug-tracking integration interface and mechanism that will permit integration of any SCM system with any bug-tracking system.
Encourage developers of other SCM to bug-tracking integration efforts to solve the integration problem once and for all.
Integrate most popular free SCM or source code version control systems, such as CVS, Subversion, and Arch.
Integrate most popular free bug-tracking systems, such as Bugzilla and Mantis.
