I have a need to make a somewhat custom change request system (very high auditing requirements).
Instead of completely reinventing the wheel I was wondering if there’s an open-source change request system, considered decent that I could write a custom module for?
I’ve done some searching but the ones I have found don’t seem to encapsulate what a change request system should be (no way of recording test plans or work streams).
In my experience a change request system has (does) store test plans / technical specs and a log of work.

We use jira (10 users for 10 bucks) and it is great. We track almost everything in it. Bugs/ Tasks/ Feature requests.
Okay… it’s not open source but these guys build like crazy and it just works out of the box.
We tried a lot of open source apps… but non really worked like we would like it to work.
Just give it a try… it’s just 10 bucks 🙂

Would a change request system differ greatly from an issue tracking system?
For a general web based feature tracking/issue tracking system I find mantis to be good.
The code is procedural, the UI is ugly, but it works and it’s easy to modify.

Is it something related to Bug Tracking System?
If you are looking for something like that with some extensions, i would advice to look at the followings – Top 10 Open Source Bug Tracking System.
There is also an alternative Change Request Management tool from SourceForge.net that you may extend as required – Change Request Management
