Also I'm missing IntelliJ as a Java IDE (now open source as well) http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/

Java Visual VM, a not so well know JVM inspection tool with plugins to see Garbage Collection behavior (comes actually with the Oravle Java SDK). http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/visualvm/index.html

Testing for programmers

Hmm, I'm surprised that for all the clear answers of the kind "dev environments need not platform testing" we have such a variety of opinions what actually drives the performance (or lack thereof). The autocomplete/syntax help was (only one) an example and yes my projects are large (>8500...

Testing for programmers

I see your point, but in reality that is what I do with my system the most, programming. First, if autocomplete in the editor/IDE is slow than that is not so much a peaky task (in the seconds range) but rather an occurance that is annoying [on a quad core 8GB system]. Second if those...

I suspect too that small writes for edits and compile of smaller classes, play a major role. However there is also a lot of larger writes going on, for compile, compression and a lot of reads for loading into programs when starting the app for testing. Thanks, they still have some SQLLite...

Testing for programmers

If that would be the case I would have not asked. In my experience waiting for input is true for web browsers too and still they are part of Anand's test suite, aren't they? In my daily programming I'm the one waiting for the system to respond. Respond to syntax previews, code completion...

Anand et. al, while I love all your tests, I'm generally missing some tests that show the performance characteristics of various components (CPU, motherboards, chipsets, HDD, SSD, etc.) for programming purposes. Gaming and entertainment is nice but I'd really like to see more coverage of...

Which ATI card to buy?

Hi there, I'm confused by the array of ATI Radeon cards on the market and their differences. I'm mostly a desktop user and don't do gaiming, (at best a simulation game). I want to pair in i7 860 with a card that would support potentially a dual screen. I have settled for an ATI 4850 as it...

VMware vs physical machines

If you run 30 individual systems for compilation, then there is more than (speed) performance to the picture. I'd say outright given an unlimited budget you will never match the performance of dedicated hardware with an VM system. It's simply a layer between your OS and the hardware that does...
