Bug Reporting on 'Bug Zilla'

Bug Reporting is very important for testers. To  Track, Manage the bugs, BugZilla   is popular, web-based bug reporting testing tool.   When i first looked into it, i got to know its an Open source from Mozilla. I have seen many organizations adopted the BugZilla as a bug tracking tool for their projects. Current Version: Bugzilla 4.4.2 - This shows, how much it evolved since its inception year 1998. I have used only two tools for reporting the bugs: Microsoft Excel and Eventum . So, I thought, i should try how it works.  Thanks to   Landfill: The  Bugzilla  Test Server   .   Landfill is  home of test installations, to try out  Bugzilla online.  Online documentation from Bugzilla helps to learn how to explore. Thanks for Terry Weissman - Original Inventor of BugZilla.
