Mantis Defect Tracking Tool

I have been looking at some different defect tracking tools recently and came across Mantis and it is my favourite. Like it as it is simple to configure as is done via config files. I really like config files and is really easy to add more statuses and customise the workflow. I find a lot of open source defect tracking tools are built be developers for devlopers and once the defect is past dev it is over no System Testing, Regression Testing or User Testing.

I had it up and running on a VM within about 30 min and after an afternoon of exploring it was really liking it and had it working how I wanted a defect tracking tool to work for me.

Pylot

A little Python tool that wants to take on JMeter by the looks. Looking at it the config looks simpler than JMeter, so it might be quite good along with me having a soft spot for Python.

Database population Tool

Came across this a little while ago for populating DBs with data. Have had a quick play and it looks ok. Will have to have a proper play later with when had a DB to populate.
