Projects

JUnit

JUnit is a Java testing framework. Since testing is not closely integrated with development, it prevents you from measuring the progress of development. You can't tell when something starts working or when something stops working. Using JUnit you can cheaply and incrementally build a test suite ... [More] that will help you measure your progress, spot unintended side effects, and focus your development efforts. [Less]

Apache Ant

claimed by Apache Software Foundation

Apache Ant is a Java-based build tool. In theory, it is kind of like Make, but without Make's wrinkles.

GNU Autoconf

GNU Autoconf is part of the GNU Build System. GNU Autoconf is a heavily used portability-enabling tool for UNIX-like systems, especially in free software projects. It is a compiler for a domain-specific-language for describing library, header, and function dependencies of a project. It ... [More] generates a shell script that can be run before building a package to customize the build to the system. [Less]

Hudson

Hudson is an automated build system for a team as well as a system that monitors automated jobs (such as cron jobs)

FindBugs

FindBugs is a defect detection tool for Java that uses static analysis to look for more than 200 bug patterns, such as null pointer dereferences, infinite recursive loops, bad uses of the Java libraries and deadlocks. FindBugs can identify hundreds of serious defects in large applications (typically ... [More] about 1 defect per 1000-2000 lines of non-commenting source statements).

PHPUnit

In the last decade, PHP has developed from a niche language for adding dynamic functionality to small websites to a powerful tool making strong inroads into large-scale Web systems. Critical business logic like this needs to work correctly. But how do you ensure that it does? You test it, of course. ... [More] To make code testing viable, good tool support is needed. This is where PHPUnit comes into play. [Less]

PMD

PMD is a Java source code analyzer. It finds unused variables, empty catch blocks, unnecessary object creation, and more. It includes CPD, a tool to detect chunks of identical code.

Selenium

No other test tool covers such a wide array of platforms. * Browser compatibility testing. ... [More] Test your application to see if it works correctly on different browsers and operating systems. The same script can run on any Selenium platform. * System functional testing. Create regression tests to verify application functionality and user acceptance. [Less]
