Elementool’s Bug Tracking 6.0 Project Management Solution Saves Major Time and Money on Software Development Projects

New York, NY— Elementool, Inc., a leading provider of web-based bug tracking, project management and help-desk solutions, today announced the launch of its Elementool Bug Tracking 6.0, the latest edition of its industry-leading project management tool to provide a fully-integrated software development management solution that can save development teams hundreds of hours a month and thousands of dollars in project costs.

With integrated efficient communication tools and time tracking features, Elementool Bug Tracking 6.0 enables project managers to readily identify bottlenecks, evaluate and adjust project priorities and effectively meet deadlines with an easy-to-use, customizable, web-based interface at an affordable price.

“We developed Bug Tracking 6.0 to meet the needs of project managers who often find themselves managing a project in the dark, with no clue as to why things fall behind schedule,” said Yaron Sinai, founder and CEO of Elementool. “Typical bug tracking applications only provide the protocol for assignments and routing, with no mechanism for tracking the amount of time spent on each assignment. Bug Tracking 6.0 integrates the assignment protocol with time tracking features that allow PMs to see exactly how long each task takes, to identify and eliminate bottlenecks that get in the way of deployment deadlines.”

Bug Tracking 6.0 integrates Elementool’s industry-leading bug tracking solution with four other Elementools, including Help Desk, Time Tracking, File Sharing and Forums, into one affordable project management package. An integrated instant messaging feature provides efficient and secure communication between teams in different locations, enabling them chat simultaneously to discuss issues. The package also includes a robust and customizable reporting feature that makes generating status reports quick and easy.

IT efficiency research shows that developers spend about 15 minutes a day searching for files on the company server and an average of 15 hours each month creating reports. Elementool Bug Tracking reduces those tasks to about 5 minutes each per month.

“With Bug Tracking 6.0, PMs can use the integrated file sharing and attachment feature to forward necessary files along with the assignment, and they can use the customized reporting feature to generate a status report in seconds,” Sinai said.  “There’s no need to search, and no need to configure a cumbersome spreadsheet. That kind of time saved carried across multiple developers and multiple projects can add up to significant cost savings from using a tool that’s designed to fit the way development works.”

Monthly service starts at just $69.99 for the Elementool Pro single project account with unlimited issue storage and includes a downloadable database for easy setup, unlimited users, full form customization, file attachment and history trial. The Premium service features unlimited fields, customizable statistical information and dynamic reports for $89.99 per month with unlimited issue storage and users. Elementool is a fully web-based application, requires no purchase of hardware or software, and continuous updates are included in the service.
