Team programming

[Gaspar]

First of all, excuse if this isn't the right group.

I work in a very small company where I used to be me only programmer
(Visual Studio). In this days, two more programmers will be working with
me and this is my first experience with team programming.
I must now work with documentation tools, bug trackers, etc., to
improve team work.


What I need is for you to advise me in some tools for this tasks. I've
been googling and I found, for example, the TracProject (http://
trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracProject) but maybe there is something
better.


Thanks a lot.

We use "Fogbugz" as our issue tracking system with great success.

It seems to have all features... i'll test it.
Thanks!

I use (in the office and at home):

* Version Control: Subversion & TortoiseSVN

http://www.tigris.org/

* Bug Tracking: Mantis, very easy administration and usage (also
available as InstantMantis, full features but very easy to run)

http://www.mantisbt.org/

* MagicDraw: UML diagram tool, a free community edition and a free
reader version are available

I would also recommend to think about unit tests and build automation
(continuous integration). A great tool for automatic builds of all your
VS projects is TeamCity, which is free for up to 20 projects:

Hope this helps
