Development Tools & Software Utilities (Dev Tools & IT Utilities)
In this area of our product catalog you will find programming tools and IT utilities that will help you with almost every aspect of software development. These software development tools will help you with: designing, coding, testing, deploying and maintaining your software application. As well as complete IDE tools, there are developer tools for version control and also software build tools to help you in reliably building new releases of your software. There are also documentation tools, issue tracking and help desk tools that allow you to cover almost every aspect of the Software Development Life-Cycle (SDLC).
It's not just developer tools! There are IT utilities for Systems Administrators, Network Administrators and Database Administrators (DB Admins) to use. For example, we have database tools, like database backup utilities to make sure you are backing up your MSFT SQL Server database reliably, db tools to speed up data maintenance tasks on MySQL databases and database utilities to compare data schemas in Oracle databases prior to live deployment. We have an extensive range of XML tools, to help you manage your XML based data files. There are application packaging and deployment tools to help you manage and distribute your software applications across your organization. There are SharePoint tools to help you monitor the Audit logs from your SharePoint server farm.
For technical writers, technical authors, business process & workflow creators and the developer who has turned into the accidental documenter at the end of the project, we have a wide selection of help authoring tools to help you create basic help files right through to full on-line published or Web based integrated software documentation and self-help systems for users. These range for basic help generators, through to sophisticated modern documentation tools that take a capture, document and share or collaborative approach to creation on-line documentation.
The Dev Tools & IT Utilities catalog is split into 3 main categories based on platform and compatibility: Windows, Linux and Unix. We have many more tools for Windows environments than we do for Linux & Unix and as such the Windows tools category is sub-divided into further categories based on product compatibility. In general for all the tools listed here you can: find, compare, download, review, try and buy the dev tools and IT utilities from our Web site. If you are interested in News about DevTools we also have many Tools News RSS feeds that you can subscribe to, to help keep you up to date with all the latest releases in your specific area of interest. So whether you are watching for the latest version of your favorite bestselling installation tool to be released or looking for a brand new DevTool to help with a new problem - you will find high quality, commercial grade software developer tools and IT utilities here to meet your needs.
Build reliable, high-performance applications, components, and web services. Micro Focus DevPartner for Visual C++ BoundsChecker Suite (formerly called Compuware BoundsChecker) helps developers to quickly and easily locate errors in application source code and at runtime, locate performance issues and measure the level of testing accomplished, for any combination of Visual Studio .NET and native Windows code, and across physically distributed systems.

A profiling solution for profiling the performance of your .NET applications. dotTrace profiles the performance of .NET applications, ASP.NET applications running on Internet Information Server and Windows services. You can compare any two performance snapshots of the same application with dotTrace. dotTrace program interface features effective navigation, easy filtering and smart search options. dotTrace also features source preview.
Locate and eliminate problems in your Delphi and C++Builder code. CodeSite is an add-in for Borland Delphi and C++Builder that enables you to send detailed information (including string lists, objects, even bitmaps) from within your application code to a specialized receiver. Unlike message boxes and inspecting variables on breakpoints, CodeSite messages are not transient. The resulting log of messages sent to a destination provides valuable information for locating problem areas in your code.
Memory profiling for .NET developers. ANTS Memory Profiler makes .NET memory profiling simple. Use ANTS Memory Profiler to locate memory leaks, optimize applications with high memory usage, and check the health of your code during the development cycle and before release. ANTS Memory Profiler can profile any .NET application including ASP.NET web applications. It is available as a standalone tool and as part of the Red Gate .NET Developer Bundle.
.NET code profiler. ANTS Performance Profiler Pro is a tool for profiling applications written in any of the languages supported by the .NET framework. ANTS Performance Profiler Pro profiles all .NET applications, including ASP.NET web applications, Windows Services and COM+ applications. ANTS Performance Profiler will identify performance bottlenecks within minutes, is fast and responsive with minimal impact on the execution of your program. It provides line-level timing so you can drill down to the specific lines of code responsible for performance inefficiencies. The Pro edition adds additional functionality such as the ability to save profiler results and profile child processes. ANTS Performance Profiler Pro is available as a standalone tool or as part of the Red Gate .NET Developer Bundle.
Enable automated testing of the presentation layer using IBM® Rational Functional Tester. Infragistics TestAdvantage for Windows Forms (for IBM Rational Functional Tester) is a collection of custom libraries built using IBM Rational Functional Tester extensibility. It enables automated testing of the presentation layer, allowing testers to fully regression test Windows Forms applications with user interfaces developed using Infragistics NetAdvantage for Windows Forms controls.
Enable automated testing of the presentation layer. Infragistics TestAdvantage for Windows Forms (for HP QuickTest Professional) is a collection of Custom Libraries built using HP QuickTest Professional .NET addin extensibility. Infragistics TestAdvantage for Windows Forms (for HP QuickTest Professional) enables automated testing of the presentation layer, allowing developers to fully regression test Windows Forms applications with user interfaces developed using Infragistics NetAdvantage. It allows development teams to effortlessly extend the regression testing process to the presentation layer. You can quickly record and replay script commands for Windows Forms applications built using NetAdvantage instead of using generic mouse coordinates.
Dynamic software analysis toolset for Windows application development. IBM Rational PurifyPlus is an award-winning dynamic software analysis solution designed to help developers write faster, more reliable code. It includes four capabilities packaged into a single product: 1) Memory debugging (pinpoints hard to find memory errors such as uninitialized memory access, buffer overflow and improper freeing of memory), 2) Memory leak detection (identifies memory blocks that no longer have a valid pointer), 3) Performance profiling: (highlights application performance bottlenecks and improves application understanding with a graphical representation of function calls) and 4) Code coverage (identifies untested code with line-level precision).
A profiling solution for profiling the memory use of your .NET applications. dotTrace Memory lets you discover memory leaks and optimize memory usage in applications based on the .NET Framework including desktop, Web applications, and Windows services. dotTrace Memory includes two profiling modes. You can identify instant memory status, or monitor memory allocation dynamics over time. If you are looking to optimize a certain class, you can quickly find all objects of this class in a memory snapshot. While analyzing a snapshot, you can instantly view the source code of any functions involved.
