I'm trying to decide if I need to reassess my defect-tracking process for my home-grown projects. For the last several years, I really just track defects using TODO
tags in the code, and keeping track of them in a specific view (I use Eclipse, which has a decent tagging system).
Unfortunately, I'm starting to wonder if this system is unsustainable. The defects I find are typically associated with a snippet of code I'm working on; bugs which are not immediately understood tend to be forgotten, or ignored. I wrote an application for my wife which has had a severe defect for almost 9 months, and I keep forgetting to fix it.
What mechanism do you use to track defects in your personal projects? Do you have a specific system, or a process for prioritizing and managing them?
