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:

    “A man’s interest in a single bluebird is worth more than a complete but dry list of the fauna and flora of a town.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “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)

    “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)
