Is there any way to measure code coverage with DUnit? Or are there any free tools accomplishing that? What do you use for that? What code coverage do you usually go for? Jim McKeeth: Thanks for the detailed answer. I am talking about unit testing in the sense of a TDD approach, not only about unit tests after a failure occured. I'm inte...
Is there any tool (preferably freeware) that can analyze Pascal/Delphi syntax and automatically remove unused vars? In my case, I'm working with a very large Delphi code base, and the compiler hints report over one thousand cases of "Variable 'x' is declared but never used". I would take hours to remove them by hand, and I might make e...

I am looking to evaluate a two tools. I am looking for a resource scheduling tool, which we need to use to schedule time on different lab equipment, and a bug tracking tool, which is for internal use to track bugs (obviously). I was wondering if there is a tool that combines the two tools. Also, with regards to the bug tracking softwa...
What are the most useful JSF tag libraries? Initially, I'd like one recommendation per answer, if you also use that library then just vote up the previous answer. My goal is to get to know what's out there apart from the most obvious ones: xmlns:h = http://java.sun.com/jsf/html xmlns:f = http://java.sun.com/jsf/core xmlns:ui = http...
We are gearing up for some pretty serious Sharepoint(MOSS 2007) development including custom web parts, lists, master pages and layouts etc etc and etc. We are evaluating version control and it seems that the discussion has not got much deeper than that. I am keen that we can easily deploy from the source control to our test and product...
I switched from NAnt to using Python to write build automation scripts. I am curious if whether any build frameworks worth using that are similar to Make, Ant, and NAnt, but, instead, are Python-based. For example, Ruby has Rake. What about Python? ...
When you're programming against a SOAP Service, what tools do you use to explore/poke-at the API? I realize that Visual Studio/Eclipse likely have some sort of client built in (and please, do talk about them), but I'm more interested in information about stand-alone programs like Soap Client for OS X. More specifically, does anyone h...
The comments here got me thinking. If you are a new Developer without a mentor and no one to collaborate on for your projects; can a tool, ReSharper in this case, stand in that capacity? Does it need another tool or process, system or human, to accomplish this. I am in no position to get a fellow dev soon and I fear StackOverFlow wi...

Very simple question (I hope), does there exist a tool similar to phpMyAdmin when working with a MySQL DB but for PostgreSQL databases? The reason I'm not just googling for a solution is that I am not as familiar with PostgreSQL as I am with MySQL and I was hoping that the SO community would be able to provide a tool that you have exper...
Hi, I am using subversion as an RCS and Bugzilla for issue tracking. And i just ask myself how to create automatic change logs for the users? I already tried the "svn2cl" tool. But the change logs it creates are to technical for me (e.g. no user want's to know that developer XY changed 20 files yesterday to fix a memory leak). A user w...
I'm now working with code that looks like this public String getName(User user) { user.setSth(...); return user.getName(); } I think it's bad practice to change objects passed as parameters. Is there a tool that detects that kind of code? I looked at findbugs, pmd and checkstyle, but could not find any check for this. P.S....

I'm currently in the process of learning C++, and because I'm still learning, I keep making mistakes. With a language as permissive as C++, it often takes a long time to figure out exactly what's wrong -- because the compiler lets me get away with a lot. I realize that this flexibility is one of C++'s major strengths, but it makes it dif...
I am an experienced Java developer, used to all the nice features that Eclipse provides for Java development (in particular Ctrl+T to open type, Ctrl+Click or F3 to open referenced declaration, outline, ...). I really like this degree of comfort. Now I have a project, where I need to do some changes in the existing database (stored proc...
I am currently working on a mantenance project that is written in Java. We are currently working to clean up the code some and try to provide a little more organization to the project overall.
