Abstract - The defect Detection System mechanism is employed only in some large software development houses. Most of the others never botheredwith bugtrackingatall,and instead simply relied on shared lists and email to monitor the status of defects. This error-prone procedure tends to cause those bugs judged least significant by developers to be dropped or ignored. The defect tracking system features a user-friendly interface with interactive visualization tools, fostering collaborationamong team members andpromoting transparency throughout the developmentlifecycle.Real-time notifications and status updates ensure timely responses to reported bugs, reducing resolution times, and improving overall project management. The Defect Tracking System can dramatically increase the productivity and accountability of individual employees by providing a documented workflow and positive feedback for good performance. Software development projects often encounter numerous challenges, with bug tracking being a critical aspect affecting project success.
