open source tools
- Quality metrics tools that measure different aspects of code quality,
including CheckStyle, PMD, FindBugs and Jupiter
- Technical documentation tools that can help you generate good technical
documentation without spending too much effort writing and maintaining it
- Unit Testing tools including JUnit 4, TestNG, and the open source
coverage tool Cobertura
