we need a server to install it, once done
we can set the authority to the concern person to edit and work on it.
there will be
Main page where you can see
New bugs, Feedback from developer, acknowledged, confirmed, assigned bug list, resolved and closed bugs
until u assign the bug to developers it will be in “New” status
All are manually done by developers and testers in the bug descripton page.
As a admin You can set the access level to different people tester, senior tester, manager, developer.
it is very useful and a easy software for all testers.

Whatever the requirements to initialize the testing for new project has mentioned in above are very veg and confusing.
The basic testing requirements to kick off the testing for new project are as follows.
1. Study the requirements of the application/project that is expected to do.
2. Analyze it and study the use cases/functional-Non Functional flow of the application.
3. From the requirements, define the testing boundary / scope for whole project
4. Estimate, Schedule and Plan it so that it will fix within given time frame. If not, then take prior approval from the customer for either time or scope reduction.
5. Prepare the Test Strategy, Test Plan, Test Specification where all the Risks, Contingencies should be there and get it approved from customer before start of the testing.
6. Decide the test methodology/model for the project.
6. Once all the major milestones and objectives are clear, then prepare the test team with required skills, software and hardware.
7. Then start 1st phase from testing life cycle and continue….
8. Till the end of whole testing life cycle for a particular project, do the PDCA cycle (Plan, Do, Check and Action) frequently and follow the ideal testing process and quality measures to ensure the quality of testing and product!!!

3) Page validations with and without JavaScript enabled
4) Ajax and JQeury functionality
5) Font size validation
6) Page layout in different resolutions
7) All images and alignment
8 ) Header and footer sections
9) Page content alignment to center, LHS or RHS
10) Page styles
11) Date formats
12) Special characters with HTML character encoding
13) Page zoom-in and zoom-out functionality
And obviously you will have to repeat these tests on:
14) Different Operating Systems like Windows, Linux and Mac
15) Different browsers (with different versions) like Internet explorer, Firefox, Google Chrome, Safari and Opera.
