title: What tool do you use to manage beta testers for a web application?
body: <p>Forgive me if this is in the wrong place, but I figured a few coders might have some thoughts on beta testing their code.</p>
  
  <p>I have written a web application that I am going to beta test with a small audience (10-20), and will eventually develop an application for the iOS platform.</p>
  
  <p><strong>What I am looking for is a tool that will help me manage the entire beta testing process and users</strong>. The features I am looking for are:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Free</li>
  <li>Web interface - to give easy access to beta testers</li>
  <li>Easily configurable - dont want to have to create logins/credentials for each beta tester to use tool</li>
  <li>Must be able to submit issues/bugs so that I may fix them and update bug (essentially a simple ticketing system)</li>
  <li><strong><em>Public</em></strong> comments/threads on issues they have come across</li>
  <li>Email alerts would be nice</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Does anyone know of a tool that will accomplish this?</p>
  
  <p>If you have any prior experience managing a set of beta testers for a web application I'd greatly appreciate any tips or comments.</p>
  
  <p>Cheers,</p>
