The question should be interpreted from a general point of view and not targeted solely at web apps or desktop apps. I have been looking around to find a simple and easy way of creating interactive prototypes for web applications. I'd like to use a technique that allows simple UI creation and especially UI recreation and modification in...
Hey guys. I'm dealing with huge glassfish log files (in windows, eek!) and well ... Wordpad isn't cutting it.

There's a feature that I'd like to see in issue tracking software that just doesn't seem to be all that common, and that is the ability to divide a ticket (bug, feature request, etc) into sub-tasks and view them in a hierarchical fashion, perhaps with some kind of progress bar style report of progress on a particular ticket and its child...
I need to write some guides for my development team on how to get some software up and running and would like to include partial screenshots. Are there any tools that are particularly good at this? Word is almost there in that I can easily paste screenshots inline with text, but I need the ability to crop the images and Word image manipu...
I was recently tasked to document a large JavaScript application I have been maintaining for some time. So I do have a good knowledge of the system. But due the sheer size of the application, it will probably take a lot of time even with prior knowledge around the code and the source code itself in uncompressed form. So I'm looking for...
We have a networked device, and we would like to perform some tests on how it handles malformed packets. Is there a product out there that can generate arbitrary packets and packet sequences? I would like to be able to specify a set of TCP/IP payloads and it would open a connection and send the data. Obviouly, the TCP/IP checksum should...
At work, the decision is generally driven by what the team knows (which for web projects ends up being PHP/MySQL/JavaScript in my current job) and cost of the tools. But when you are writing all the code yourself, how do you make the decision? When do you pull out the trusted tool (and how do you choose which trusted tool if you have mul...

What is the first thing you do when you install Visual Studio? I am talking about anything customization-wise (so we don't get answers based on 'I create a new project'). Do you have a favorite font? Do you have a must have extension you couldn't possibly live without? Do you have a keyboard shortcut you like to set? I am interest...

When you move from analysis of the requirements through design, you go through a decomposition/workflow/dataflow/composition/etc process. I need tools to facilitate this process. The result of analysis & design would be an implementation design which I can happily document using UML. I cannot use UML for analysis & design: it is a...

I'm looking for a tool that will, in bulk, add a license header to some source files, some of which already have the header. Is there a tool out there that will insert a header, if it is not already present?
