DEFECT TRACKER 3.12 ADDS FLEXIBLE SEARCHING
AND TURBO-CHARGED QUERY ENGINE

A Customizable Web Solution for Tracking Software Defects

Pragmatic Software Company announced new enhancements to Defect Tracker version 3.12, the latest version of a customizable web solution to track software defects and manage the software development life cycle.

Defect Tracker (http://www.DefectTracker.com) improves the quality of software releases and decreases software maintenance costs by providing the user with a project collaboration tool that allows the user to manage all phases of software development. Defect Tracker is a web-based solution that can be easily deployed across an entire organization regardless of geographic location.

Defect Tracker version 3.12 now sports a quick search function that allows clients to search for information without using the advanced filter screen.   "With the new quick search feature, a client can enter search phrase(s), choose the fields to search and press GO.  If more advanced Boolean searches are needed, the client can use our advanced filter screen", says Steve Miller, President of Pragmatic Software.  "The quick search feature was a direct suggestion from our client base, and we have already received many favorable emails regarding the new feature", adds Miller.

In addition to the quick search function, Defect Tracker version 3.12 has been tuned for optimal performance.  "By enhancing our query engine, the application now performs 3 times faster than before.  Our average response time is now less than 2 seconds", says Miller.

In addition to the new enhancements, Defect Tracker allows software teams to collaborate by sharing documents (like requirements, project plans, etc.).  Team members can track all phases of the software lifecycle, including functional specifications, test cases and defects.

"Defect Tracker is designed to increase project success. According to the Standish Group, only 16% of projects are delivered on-time and on-budget. Using our collaborative solutions and methodologies, Pragmatic Software delivered 98% of our projects on-time and on-budget last year, with 30% being delivered early." said Steve Miller, President and CEO of Pragmatic Software Company.  Pragmatic Software offer both monthly subscription solutions (starting at $ 20 per month) as well as scalable enterprise solutions that can be branded and tailored to exact client needs.

Founded in 1992, Pragmatic Software Company, Inc. based in Denver, Colorado is an Internet software company that provides software products, web-based professional solutions and software consulting services.  For more information on Pragmatic Software, go to www.PragmaticSW.com or contact Steve Miller at (800) 773-7785.
