Mozilla's 100,000th Bug 304

benb writes: "bugzilla.mozilla.org just hit bug 100,000 (cached). This proves its scalability. BugZilla is used to track work on Mozilla. Every change has to have a bug. This includes new features and bugs found by developers/testers during development (bugs that never reached users). We also get a lot of duplicates (which dedicated triagers sort out). So, the number of filed closed bugs cannot be used as criteria of the quality of Mozilla. During usage, BugZilla evolved to a very comfortable web platform for filing/tracking bugs, one that has only very few competition (of which I know). Examples are the emailing and dependency systems. In fact, BugZilla is probably the most important communication medium used in the Mozilla project (apart from the source code itself)."

Lots of bugs == high scalability ;)

If that's the case imagine how scalable Windows is!

What was the quote earler? 250,000 bugs in the latest release of MS's software?
I think it was actually only around 65535. More than that, and their excellent bug tracking software overflows...

Scalable at 100,000 records? Feh! (Score:4, Funny)

Don't get me wrong, I'm glad that someone has tried to attack the bug-tracking problem. But 100K records isn't even a decent test case for most big database projects. A database I use has a table with 70 million records and another with 20 million. Bugzilla will need to handle those kind of numbers if it is going to be used to track large software projects like Windows XP. ;-)

Really? Where? I haven't noticed them!
Well that's because they're being obscured by 90,000 bugs. ;-)

Good thing they at least don't sign their shorts or else we would be seeing only 32767.

Also, it does not overflow for Microsoft; they just think they have eliminated a lot of bugs when the bits cycle around.
