Mantis Bug Tracker (sometimes referred to as MantisBT or simply Mantis) is an open-source, web-based bugtracker and testing tool. The most common use of MantisBT is to track software defects; however, MantisBT is often configured by users to serve as a more generic issue tracking system and project management tool.

The name Mantis and the logo of the project refer to the Mantidae family of insects, known for the tracking of and feeding on other insects, colloquially referred to as "bugs".

Product history

Kenzaburo Ito started the Mantis Bug Tracking project on November 18, 2000 on SourceForge, beginning with version 0.9.0 on December 1, 2000.[2][3] In 2002 Victor Boctor became the maintainer of the project, though it's not clear why. Version 1.0.0 was released in January 2006[1], followed by 1.1.0 in December 2007.[4]

In November 2008, the project switched from using the Subversion revision control tool to Git, a distributed revision control tool.[5] In February 2010, version 1.2.0 was released.[6]
