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

JUnit is a Java testing framework. Since testing is not closely integrated with development, it prevents you from measuring the progress of development.

Perl-Critic is a static source analyzer for Perl code. It is an extensible framework for creating and automatically enforcing coding standards across a body of code. Many of the default rules are taken from Damian Conway's book "Perl Best Practices." However, you can enable/disable & customize these rules to your heart's content.

Memtest86 is thorough, stand alone memory test for x86 architecture computers. BIOS based memory tests are a quick, cursory check and often miss many of the failures that are detected by Memtest86.

Test::Harness provides test execution and result analysis for Perl. It runs test scripts, parses TAP (Test Anything Protocol) output from them and presents a summary of which tests passed and which failed. It may be used to test non-Perl programs - in fact anything that outputs TAP.

Continuum is a continuous integration server for building Java based projects. It supports a wide range of projects.

SimpleTest is a unit tester, Web tester, and dynamic mock objects framework for PHP. The test structure is similar to JUnit/PHPUnit. Used as a Web tester, you can navigate sites and submit forms as if you were using a Web browser.

The BuildBot is a system to automate the compile/test cycle required by most software projects to validate code changes. By automatically rebuilding and testing the tree each time something has changed, build problems are pinpointed quickly, before ... [More] other developers are inconvenienced by the failure. The guilty developer can be identified and harassed without human intervention. By running the builds on a variety of platforms, developers who do not have the facilities to test their changes everywhere before checkin will at least know shortly afterwards whether they have broken the build or not. Warning counts, lint checks, image size, compile time, and other build parameters can be tracked over time, are more visible, and are therefore easier to improve. [Less]

Selenium is a test tool for web applications. Selenium tests run directly in a browser, just as real users do. And they run in Internet Explorer, Mozilla and Firefox on Windows, Linux, and Macintosh. No other test tool covers such a wide array of ... [More] platforms. * Browser compatibility testing. 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]

OLAT is the acronym for Online Learning And Training.

EasyMock provides Mock Objects for interfaces in JUnit tests by generating them on the fly using Java's proxy mechanism. Due to EasyMock's unique style of recording expectations, most refactorings will not affect the Mock Objects. So EasyMock is a perfect fit for Test-Driven Development.

Gendarme is a extensible rule-based tool to find problems in .NET applications and libraries. Gendarme inspects programs and libraries that contain code in ECMA CIL format (Mono and .NET) and looks for common problems with the code, problems that ... [More] compiler do not typically check or have not historically checked. Gendarme uses the Cecil library to introspect code. [Less]

A library for testing Haskell programs automatically. The programmer provides a specification of the program, in the form of properties which functions should satisfy, and QuickCheck then tests that the properties hold in a large number of randomly ... [More] generated cases. Specifications are expressed in Haskell, using combinators defined in the QuickCheck library. QuickCheck provides combinators to define properties, observe the distribution of test data, and define test data generators. [Less]

DbUnit is a JUnit extension (also usable with Ant) targeted for database-driven projects that, among other things, puts your database into a known state between test runs. This is an excellent way to avoid the myriad of problems that can occur when ... [More] one test case corrupts the database and causes subsequent tests to fail or exacerbate the damage. DbUnit has the ability to export and import your database data to and from XML datasets. Since version 2.0, DbUnit can works with very large dataset when use in streaming mode. DbUnit can also helps you to verify that your database data match expected set of values. [Less]

HtmlUnit is a "browser for Java programs". It models HTML documents and provides an API that allows you to invoke pages, fill out forms, click links, etc... just like you do in your "normal" browser. It has fairly good JavaScript support (which ... [More] is constantly improving) and is able to work even with quite complex AJAX libraries, simulating either Firefox or Internet Explorer depending on the configuration you want to use. It is typically used for testing purposes or to retrieve information from web sites. [Less]

jMock is a library that supports test-driven development of Java code with mock objects. Mock objects help you design and test the interactions between the objects in your programs. The jMock library: * makes it quick and easy to define ... [More] mock objects, so you don't break the rhythm of programming. * lets you precisely specify the interactions between your objects, reducing the brittleness of your tests. * works well with the autocompletion and refactoring features of your IDE * plugs into your favourite test framework * is easy to extend.
