The Tools SIG covers all types of tools development, from command line tools, to UI-focused tools, all the way to middleware applications.

This list aims to raise awareness about what “tools” are, how they can be developed more productively, and how teams can get more out of them over time. Effective tool design can save hundreds of hours in labor, and allow companies to focus on issues of quality. The overall mission of the SIG is to encourage effective tools design and development, leading to more reusable tools with longer shelf lives.
