List of Tools

Software tools come in many forms:

  • Binary compatibility analysis: icheck, ABI Compliance Checker
  • Bug Databases: Comparison of issue tracking systems - Including bug tracking systems
  • Build Tools: Build automation, List of build automation software
  • Code coverage: Code coverage#Software code coverage tools. Software Diagnostics
  • Code Sharing Sites: Freshmeat, Krugle, Sourceforge, GitHub. See also Code search engines.
  • Compilation and linking tools: GNU toolchain, gcc, Microsoft Visual Studio, CodeWarrior, Xcode, ICC
  • Debuggers: Debugger#List of debuggers. See also Debugging.

Famous quotes containing the words list of, list and/or tools:

    “My list of things I never pictured myself saying when I pictured myself as a parent has grown over the years.”
    —Polly Berrien Berends (20th century)

    “Lastly, his tomb
    Shall list and founder in the troughs of grass
    And none shall speak his name.”
    —Karl Shapiro (b. 1913)

    “At the utmost, the active-minded young man should ask of his teacher only mastery of his tools. The young man himself, the subject of education, is a certain form of energy; the object to be gained is economy of his force; the training is partly the clearing away of obstacles, partly the direct application of effort. Once acquired, the tools and models may be thrown away.”
    —Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
