We use a number of different tools at ClearCanvas. Below are the ones we use regularly and highly recommend:
Tool |
Description |
Microsoft's development environment |
|
Subversion (SVN) |
A great open source source code control system. Considered the successor to CVS. |
A very popular and easy to use, open source SVN client. |
|
A very nice Visual Studio add-in that integrates Tortoise SVN functionality right into the Visual Studio IDE. |
|
An open source, no-fuss defect tracking system. |
|
An invaluable Visual Studio add-in that provides improved intellisense, powerful refactoring, code analysis, unit testing etc. |
|
A really polished icon editor. All our toolbar icons were created using this. |
|
A powerful, open source, Photoshop-like tool. When a canned icon wasn't available, we used this to draw our own. |
|
An open source tool that we use to build our Framework API reference. It is built on top of Sandcastle, Microsoft's new documentation generation engine. |
|
A very powerful help authoring tool that this help file was written in. |
|
An open source, installer creation tool. We use this to create the installers for our distributables. |
|
Virtualization software. We use this extensively to create consistent, reproducible test environments. |
|
A very powerful and flexible test case management system. |
