'''Bugzilla''' is a [[World Wide Web|web]]-based general-purpose [[bug tracking system]] and [[Test automation|testing tool]] originally developed and used by the [[Mozilla]] project, and [[software license|licensed]] under the [[Mozilla Public License]].

Released as [[open-source software]] by [[Netscape Communications]] in 1998, it has been adopted by a variety of organizations for use as a [[bug tracking system]] for both [[free and open-source software]] and [[proprietary software|proprietary]] projects and products. Bugzilla is used, among others, by the [[Mozilla Foundation]], [[WebKit]], [[Linux kernel]], [[FreeBSD]],<ref>{{cite web|url=https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-announce/2014-June/001559.html|title=Announcement of Migration from GNATS to Bugzilla on the FreeBSD mailing list|date=3 June 2014 |quote=Bugzilla supports finer granularity for categories and keywords and over time we will adopt more of these, making it easier to filter bugs into specific target areas. It is now easy for multiple people to track a single bug, without having to have them assigned to custom mailing lists, add attachments to bugs, and so on. Many features that people expect from a modern bug tracker are simply not present in GNATS.}}</ref> [[KDE]], [[Apache Software Foundation|Apache]], [[Eclipse (software)|Eclipse]] and [[LibreOffice]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bugzilla.org/installation-list/|title=Installation List|work=bugzilla.org}}</ref> Red Hat uses it, but is gradually migrating its product to use [[Jira (software)|Jira]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=[CentOS-devel] RHEL moving to issues.redhat.com only long term |url=https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-devel/2022-March/120269.html |access-date=2022-04-19}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=CentOS Community Newsletter, April 2022 – Blog.CentOS.org |url=https://blog.centos.org/2022/04/centos-community-newsletter-april-2022/ |access-date=2022-04-19 |language=en-US}}</ref> It is also [[Self-hosting (compilers)|self-hosting]].<ref>{{Cite web|url = http://www.bugzilla.org/developers/reporting_bugs.html|title = Reporting Bugs|date = 31 December 2014|access-date = 9 January 2014|website = Bugzilla}}</ref>
