CMVC is a source code and defect tracking system that has been used by IBM for a long time. It is slowly being phased out but in true IBM tradition it will most likely stay alive in some form forever. I wish I could drive a stake through its heart. How intuitive is this? I opened a defect on a problem I found while testing an application. The developer put in his fix and then returned the defect so that I can test the bug fix. I tested the bug fix and found that it did not fix the problem. So I reject it which should send it back to the developer. But instead it closes the defect. Yeah, no wonder quality software is hard to come by. With this system if it isn't fixed with the first try the problem just magically goes away... So the next thing I have to do is open a brand new defect and then copy and paste all the information from the original defect into it. I'm getting really tired of this...
