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

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

    “Modern tourist guides have helped raised tourist expectations. And they have provided the natives—from Kaiser Wilhelm down to the villagers of Chichacestenango—with a detailed and itemized list of what is expected of them and when. These are the up-to- date scripts for actors on the tourists’ stage.”
    —Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)

    “The advice of their elders to young men is very apt to be as unreal as a list of the hundred best books.”
    —Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. (1841–1935)

    “Think of the tools in a tool-box: there is a hammer, pliers, a saw, a screwdriver, a rule, a glue-pot, nails and screws.—The function of words are as diverse as the functions of these objects.”
    —Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)
