My apologies if this is a duplicate, I've seen a couple threads on the subject of 80-column code, but didn't see an answer to this specific problem: My team is developing Java code in a couple different IDEs, with differing numbers of columns. It's worked well so far, but we've been asked to deliver compilable code to a partner with th...
Every time I test my program, I have to go through a bunch of the same keystrokes and mouse clicks. I am looking for a tool to automate this like a Macro recorder. The tool needs to save the clicks and keystrokes one time. Then every time my program runs, I hit a keyboard shortcut and it does its work. I see a lot of such shareware tool...

As I wrote the title to this question, I reworded it a handful of times because I'm hoping to get good, well thought out feedback from the community. Not just "off the cuff" answers of emotion. Over the span of my career, I've been witness to, and a part of, many situations where there was a need for a particular software tool. However,...

Unfortunately I'm not familiar with UML (yet) and I don't know what validations are in place in the standard tools. But after reading this it seems validation is missing so I ask SO for advice. I want it to find stuff like logical inconsistencies disconnected parts (islands) unreachable parts (for example a state with only from transi...

Is there any other debugger that tries to give some more graphical representation of datastructures after hitting a breakpoint? I'm planning to write a Debugger myself and would like to see what the competition can do.

Is there any good way to handle large assets (i.e. 1000's of images, flash movies etc.) with a DVCS tool such as hg and git. As I see it, to clone repositories that are filled with 4 GB assets seems like an unnecessary overhead as you will be checking out the files. It seems rather cumbersome if you have source code mixed together with a...
I'm looking for a file compare tool with a "combined file" view. To me, this makes the best use of screenspace because unchanged lines are only shown once and also I don't have to move my eyes much to move from "before" to "after". The screenshot below shows what I mean - the blue and red text show the differences, the black text on whit...
I know PC-Lint can tell you about headers which are included but not used. Are there any other tools that can do this, preferably on linux? We have a large codebase that through the last 15 years has seen plenty of functionality move around, but rarely do the leftover #include directives get removed when functionality moves from one im...

From here I was shocked to learn the massive destructive capabilties of untested software (Read Ariane5 integer overflow and Therac -25). They say that not all software logical conditions can be tested in a lab environment, I don't know how true it is? What can I do to thoroughly test my software in the lab before it leaves for the field...
Is there a reason not to use wordpress and develop your own blogging system? Same goes with Durpal and our own CMS. I am wondering since my marketing women disagrees with me that we should develop our own in house solutions because there are better solutions. She also says that we might even loose time and money on it since it is our ...
