The document describes DK-Tracker, an online bug tracking system developed by students at the University of Juba for Scoop Trust Organization. DK-Tracker aims to speed up the process of reporting and fixing issues by replacing Scoop Trust's traditional communication methods. It allows users to report bugs, developers to fix issues, project managers to assign bugs, and administrators to manage the system. The document outlines the goals, objectives, users, features, benefits and how DK-Tracker works in tracking and managing bugs reported by clients.

3. 1. INTRODUCTION
 A software bug is an error, flaw, mistake, failure, or fault in a computer program or
system that produces an incorrect or unexpected result, or causes it to behave in
unplanned ways (Shaffie et al., 2010) [1].
 There is a fact that no software that is solid and perfectly developed in a way that there
will be no need for additional module (updates, enhancement).
 Bug reporting consists of tasks such as investigation, information gathering, testing and
debugging throughout the whole process Developers create the bugs
 Bug tracking system is a software application that keeps track of reported software
bugs in software development projects.
 In other way it is a tool that facilitates fixing of bugs faster and ensures the quality of
software being developed or being used.

4. 2. PROBLEM STATEMENT
 Scoop Trust Organization (STO) located at Thong-piny residential area, is
one of the leading Internet Service Providers (ISP) in South Sudan.
 It has ventured into the business of internet provider, VSAT installations
and web development.
 The company receives calls and emails to get notified of the issues that
clients have.
 This method and traditional ways of communication is too slow that it
takes long and sometimes difficult issues are being ignored and skipped.

5. 3. GOALS
 Get out from traditional ways of reporting, assigning and fixing reported
issues.
 Speed-up processes of fixing issues by coping up with current technology.

6. 4. OBJECTIVES
 To analyze traditional way of reporting bugs in Scoop Trust
Organization.
 To design appropriate online bug tracking system to replace
the traditional used by the organization.
 To develop a prototype DK-Tracker for Scoop Trust
Organization.
 Test DK-Tracker online bug tracking system for final release.

7. 5. DATA COLLECTION METHODS
 Document review
Document include bug reports, system guideline of the system being used in Scoop
Trust Organization.
 On-site Observation
First-hand knowledge of all activities, operations, processes of the system on-site was
obtained
 Internet Resources
Google Books, journals and articles that has related information.
 Interview Conducted
done with the potential users to collect information about the current system

8. 6. DK-TRACKER USERS
S/No. User Description
1. The User (Bug Reporter-
Client)
A user of DK-Tracker or a client who
reported a bug.
2. Bug fixer (developer) A user whom the bug is assigned to for
fixing.
3. Project Manager Manage projects & assign bugs to
developers.
4. Administrator Responsible for overall management.

9. 7. HOW DK-TRACKER WORKS

10. 8. DK-TRACKER KEY FEATURES
 Easy to navigate through the site for inexperienced users.
 UI meet modern technology (Platforms).
 Support any web browser.
 The system is web-based for instant delivery of reports (the use of the
databases).
 Multi-lingual interface. (Feature work)

11. 9. DK-TRACKER KEY BENEFITS
 DK-Tracker will maintain a database of problem
reports.
 DK-Tracker will allow individuals or groups of
developers to keep track of outstanding bugs in the
developed websites effectively.
 DK-Tracker will have ability to track bugs and
changes, communicate with members, submit and
review patches, and manage quality assurance.
 DK-Tracker has security mechanism.

12. 10. CONCLUSION & FEATURE WORK
 Plug-in:
Plug-ins quicken the access to the system, and guide the user direct to the system page without
entering web address.
 Live chatting:
embedded in the system in order to allow live communication in a chatting room.
 Multi-lingual:
the system is presently will be using only English language.
 Help page:
For the best practice it is advisable to have an online help document that can be downloaded by
the users to guide them through the use of the system.
