YouTrack is a proprietary, commercial browser-based bug tracker, issue tracking system, and project management software developed by JetBrains. This software is designed to facilitate query-based issue search with auto-completion, manipulating issues in batches,[2] customizing the set of issue attributes,[3] and creating custom workflows.[4]

Architecture

YouTrack uses the language-oriented programming[5] paradigm, and now the frontend is written in JavaScript, while the backend relies on Kotlin, a programming language created by the same software house. It uses an embedded Xodus[6] database to read and store data. For remote procedure calls, YouTrack supports a RESTful API. JetBrains offers YouTrack in cloud-hosted and on-premises versions.

Integration with external tools

YouTrack Standard supports integrations such as imports from Jira, Mailbox Integration, Zendesk integration, and an integrated working environment with Upsource and TeamCity. The platform has pre-built connectors with GitHub, BitBucket, and GitLab. It facilitates connections to additional version control systems using TeamCity or Upsource integration. TeamCity supports connections to repositories in ClearCase, CVS, Git, Mercurial, Perforce, SourceGear Vault, StarTeam, Subversion, Team Foundation Server, and Visual SourceSafe. Upsource supports connections to repositories in Git, Mercurial, Perforce, and Subversion.

YouTrack supports integration with several popular test management tools: PractiTest, TestLink, TestLodge, and TestRail. YouTrack can also be integrated with the Slack workplace. Confluence integration is performed by adding macros to insert links to issues and reports into Confluence Pages. YouTrack can integrate with JetBrains IDEs. YouTrack is capable of importing issues from Jira, CSV files, Bugzilla, FogBugz, GitHub, MantisBT, Redmine, Trac, or another YouTrack server. YouTrack also supports user authentication.

User interface

YouTrack's Ajax-based user interface allows both keyboard and mouse interaction. Searching for issues is implemented via search query syntax and is performed from a single search box.[7]

YouTrack REST API

YouTrack REST API[8][9] allows developers to perform various actions programmatically, including:

  • Importing existing projects and issues from other issue tracking systems.
  • Creating, modifying, and getting all the issues attributes.
  • Manipulating projects, users, groups and roles. This is done with Hub via the Hub REST API, a user and a permission management system by JetBrains. YouTrack 6.0 and later comes with Hub built-in.
