Screaming Penguin - Source Does Matter

I will try not to add too much profane additional commentary, hopefully it will suffice to say that I am at my second gig now where "Quality Center" is in use - and it is just about the worst of all worlds.

Even if you can get past the IE only ActiveX nonsense (really, at that point, just make it a desktop app, what the hell - and they probably do have a desktop version right? - not that I checked, or care - but betcha if that does exist it costs even more), and the prohibitive cost, the end result product is still a horrible interface. Not a single one of the use cases is well thought out, the UI is abysmal, and I can't even set my preferences for email and the like (no, it just spams me with every defect for every project, without even the courtesy to put the PROJECT NAME in the SUBJECT, result, all email direct to trash).

I could go on, but promised to avoid profanity. Anyway, I could not agree more: Mercury, the god of profit.

Do yourself a favor and use BugZilla, or Mantis, or JIRA, or hell a goddamn spreadsheet (whoops, couldn't help it).
