Bugsplat is the first web-based bug tracker web application in the world developed in-house at Netscape Inc (company who created the internet browser).

History

Bugsplat was originally developed by Terry Wisemen and Arun Ramachandran at Netscape in 1996. Bugsplat is a bug tracking CGI web application application written in TCL (tikle).

Later in 1998 when Mozilla.org was established, a replica of the Bugsplat was developed using java (Kivasoft - Applogic/Servlets) by Arun Ramachandran called Bugzilla. At the same time, since Mozilla.org was going to be a independent open source organization, Terry Wisemen decided it's better to build the application in a popular Perl language and completed it in 1998.

Pre-History

Netscape had bought Scopus Inc, Quality and Call tracking product in 1995. Bugsplat schema and application functionality was copied from Scopus Quality/Bug tracking product.
