I need to keep track of my team's progress, and report what bugs were found and fixed in their code each week. I was able to do this in the past using Bugsplat, which allowed queries for reporting, resolution and verification by date range. I don't see any way to efficiently use Bugzilla to do this. I tried to use the 'changed in the last n days' feature, but that doesn't do the job because it isn't always (or even typically) the last n days I'm concerned about. Also, it generates a slew of false positives (more than 90& of the total returned), since it includes any change to a bug. Could we get these fields added to Bugzilla, or is there some workaround?

Changing component from XP Utilities fo Bugzilla. That's what you want right? A query that does this parameter?
Sure, or any other way to efficiently get this data.

OK, done. But it's not done the way it was done in BugSplat. It's harder to use, but it's much more powerful. On the query page, you will now find a new section where you can search for changes to a particular field within a date range. You can optionally specify the value that this field changed to. So, if you want to find out all bugs that were CLOSED in the last week, you would specify the "bug_status" field, a starting date of a week ago, and 'changed to value' as CLOSED. I think with a little cleverness, you can use this feature to get pretty much everything you want.
Status: RESOLVED → VERIFIED
WOW! This is great! Thanks, Terry. verifying as fixed.

In my Bugzilla installation, I want to have the ability to get these reports using charts. Is there a way to connect the two? For example - I want to get reports every time a week ago, during X weeks, and to see all the open bugs I have each time. I've started to do something about this, but I've kind of stuck... If you have any idea, I'll appreciate your help.
