Tools

The following serves as an index of a range of web-based tools, browser extensions, command-line tools, scripts, and bookmarklets. It is not complete; it might lack some important tools; but many tools come with my endorsement, and the promise to also serve others well.

(By the way, my UITest.com site is a hub for web-based testing tools, generators, and anything else web-based that’s useful for web developers and designers. You can find many of the tools listed in this book and more there.)
