Q. |
Is BugZap a multi-user tool?
|
A. |
By itself, BugZap is a single-user tool. However, it can be
set up for shared access to bug databases for projects with
multiple participants.
|
|
Q. |
How?
|
A. |
The simplest way is to put bug database files on a shared network
drive. BugZap locks bug databases when they are open, so only one
user will be able to have any given bug database open at a time.
Alternatively, you can place bug database files under version
control and each user will then check out what bug databases he needs
and check in modifications later on. When placing bug databases
under version control, remember that they are binary (i.e. not text)
files.

Q. |
I am not an administrator, so I cannot perform an installation of
a new program on my machine. Can I still use BugZap?
|
A. |
Yes, you need BugZap Portable edition, which can be downloaded
from here. After downloading, unZIP
and run the Cybernetic.BugZap.Application.exe executable.
You can copy the extracted BugZap directory tree to another location
of your choice and run it from there as long as you copy the entire
BugZap directory tree without altering its structure. Using this
technique, BugZap has been run in the past from external drives,
USB sticks and even memory mice.
Note that BugZap does not use Windows Registry to store persistent
settings, so you do not need to be a system administrator to use
BugZap - only to install it.
