Although not in the scope of this user manual, in this appendix section we provide a set of references to rather known and established development tools and environments we think are useful for code development in C++ in general. It's a rather limited list, far from being complete of course. The KDevelop environment on Linux systems. The GNU Data Display Debugger (DDD). Valgrind , a system for debugging and profiling Linux programs. Microsoft Visual Studio development environment. Parasoft Insure++ run-time debugger and memory checker Parasoft C++ Test source code analyzer. Enterprise Architect UML Visual Modeling tool. Borland Together Visual Modeling for Software Architecture Design tool.
