FogBugz is an integrated web-based project management system featuring bug/issue tracking, discussion forums, , customer relationship management, and evidence based scheduling developed by Fog Creek Software.
Prediction of future tasks and completion estimation of future milestones are based upon past records of user performance. Users must manually input an estimated duration for every task, and state the task they are currently working on which builds a daily work log (timesheet) that may be reviewed later.
FogBugz originally started as an internal bug tracking tool for Fog Creek Software while the company was focused on consulting. It was first released in November, 2000.
In 2003, FogBugz was originally written in classic Active Server Pages and VBScript. In order to run on both Microsoft Windows and Linux, Fog Creek developed an ASP to PHP compiler called Thistle.
As the requirements for FogBugz grew, it became clear that VBScript did not have the features desired to continue development. Instead of switching technologies, Fog Creek decided to start extending VBScript with modern programming language features such as first-class functions, automatic programming, and object-relational mapping. The result was an entirely new programming language, Wasabi, with a compiler written in C#, that compiled to .NET or PHP, depending on what the client requires.
Pricing is based on user licenses, where each logged-in user must have one license. Each user in the application can filter tasks assigned to him/her and may create new, update existing, or resolve/close tasks with his/her name.
