Category for collecting different tools that make development of Tcl easier.  
(Development can be considered as part of the software development life cycle, 
and separate from analysis, design, deployment, and maintenance.  
Of course, all of these activities interact in practice.)

Some tools may be standalone:

''Source organization and packaging:''
   * [The Simple Development Library]: A library of commands and utilities for Tcl development.
''Source creation tools:''
   * Macroprocessors (See [Template and Macro processing], [Macro Facility for Tcl], [Tmac - a Tcl macro processor package], [Sugar], [Code Generation], and [FrontLine].)
   * [GUI Building Tools]
''Source modification tools:''
   * [Tcl Editors]
   * http://www.pspad.com
   * TAGS file generators (See [Tags for Vi/ViM editing].)
   * [frink] - Source code formatter
''Source inspection tools:''
   * See [Category Debugging] and [Static syntax analysis].
   * (???) [Source Navigator]
''Program testing:''
   * See [testing]
   * [tcltest]
   * SimpleTest is a [tcltest] work-alike for projects using [The Simple Library].
   * [Flow tracing]

''Application build process scripting''
   * See [the make command and various alternatives]

Some tools may be parts of development suites, like [Tcl Dev Kit] and [JX Development Suite].

Some tools may be different Integrated Development Environments ([IDE]).
