Let's create a great list of tools that people might be able to use in their projects!

Please provide links to tools you think are cool, and any info at all you have on if they are reasonable to set up and run!

Writing JS code? Do yourself a favor and let a computer look at your callback hell before you try to debug it: http://jshint.com/. There are tools to integrate this with your editor, IDE, build system, etc.

Grunt is a flexible, customizable task runner mainly intended for Nodejs projects. You can use it to hook together many modules. Gulp is an alternative.

unit.js for testing.

CasperJS for automated browser orcestration.

RaphaelJS is a toolkit for working with SVG in JavaScript. It could be useful for creating custom visualizations that are lightweight and portable.

If you like being forced into formatting your JS a particular way, jslint.com is another good JS linter.

Version control: Git, Subversion, Mercurial

Version control is crucial for managing software evolution as it grows, because it:

Tracks and manages changes via tagging, branching, and releases
Allows parallel development
Nice UI for code history

Package management: npm, pip, apt-get

Handles package dependencies
Easy installing, updating, and uninstallating of packages as software grows

Documentation: ArgoUML, javadoc

Generation of documentation from source code to make it easy to manage documentation

Testing: JUnit, Cucumber

Unit and regression testing shortens time to test the system as it grows
Testing frameworks makes it easy to develop tests for large software systems

Code Analysis: IntelliJ IDEA, Pylint

Analyze codebase for code that will never be executed, syntax errors, and finding probable bugs.

If you want/need to analyze source code, Objective Caml may help (specifically omcallex, lexer/parser)

- FindBugs: http://findbugs.sourceforge.net/
- a program which uses static analysis to look for bugs in Java code.
- CodeClimate: https://codeclimate.com/
- SonarQube: http://www.sonarqube.org/
General
- gitstats: http://gitstats.sourceforge.net/
- CodePro Analytix: https://developers.google.com/java-dev-tools/codepro/doc/

Detecting memory leaks in C

Valgrind

For analyzing Python projects

Pylint (a Python linter)
Pycharm (an IDE that has code analysis tools)
Snakefood (software visualization tool for Python dependency graphs)

For analyzing C# projects (copied from StackOverflow answer)

Code violation detection Tools:

Fxcop, excellent tool by Microsoft. Check compliance with .net framework guidelines.(No longer available as a standalone download. It is now included in the Windows SDK and after installation can be found in Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\ [v7.1] \Bin\FXCop\FxCopSetup.exe)
Clocksharp, based on code source analysis (to C# 2.0)
Mono.Gendarme, similar to Fxcop but with an opensource licence (based on Mono.Cecil)
Smokey, similar to Fxcop and Gendarme, based on Mono.Cecil. No longer on development, the main developer works with Gendarme team now.
Coverity Prevent™ for C#, commercial product
CAT.NET , visual studio addin that helps identification of security flaws
CodeIt.Right
Spec#
Pex

Quality Metric Tools:

NDepend, great visual tool. Useful for coupling and dependency studies.
Nitriq, free, can easily write your own metrics/constraints, nice visualizations.
RSM Squared, based on code source analysis
C# Metrics, using a full parse of C#
SourceMonitor, old tool EDIT a new version is out
Code Metrics, a Reflector add-in
Vil, old tool that doesn't support .NET 2.0

Checking Style Tools:

StyleCop, Microsoft tool ( run from inside of Visual Studio or integrated into an MSBuild project)
Agent Smith, code style validation plugin for ReSharper

Duplication Detection:

Simian, based on source code. Works with plenty languages.
CloneDR, detects parameterized clones only on language boundaries (also handles many languages other than C#)
Clone Detective a Visual Studio plugin. (It uses ConQAT internally)
Atomiq, based on source code, plenty of languages, cool "wheel" visualization

General Refactoring tools

ReSharper - Majorly cool C# code analysis and refactoring features

callcatcher is a tool that shows which functions/methods have been defined but are not used. It works with C++ and maybe C code.

BrodyHolden commented 9 years ago

Mocha.js for test running in the browser and nodejs. Istanbul which performs code coverage in node.js and works with mocha.js

Here's a JsLint Plugin for Eclipse. And Moose.

RobertLeahy commented 9 years ago

Cppcheck is a static analysis tool for C/C++ code that I've used personally.

Clang makes many aspects of its C/C++ compiler available modularly, allowing for programmatic analysis of C/C++ source code (i.e. get off the ground quickly designing custom tools).

Address Sanitizer can be compiled into programs to find issues with memory such as use after free, overflows, et cetera (I've used this tool personally to great effect).

A tool like GitVersionTree can be used to visually analyze the structure of a large repository, allowing you to find highly active/long-lived branches, large clusters of merges, et cetera.

For Visual Studio: -Code Lens: Allows you to see past changes to a piece of code, can create a code map to show references to your code, and find unit test for your code. All of this is done within the editor. -AnkhSVN: Subversion support for Visual Studio.

Metrics Grimoire: obtains data from repositories. vizGrimoire: Analyze and visualize the data from Metrics Grimoire.

Trac: Project management and bug tracking tool. GitHub-Analytics: Basic Github Issue Analytics Everhour: Time tracking and analysis of github issues
