Tool development

Tool development is the specialised activity of designing and writing pieces of software that are used in the design and construction of other software, or that are used to perform tasks related to a particular project or web site.

Tools are generally built to automate repetitive or error-prone tasks, or to solve complicated or recurring problems in a way that can be well-tested, so that the results can be used with confidence.

Problems for which we've written tools include data and document conversion, debugging, profiling and performance analysis, and web-to-database calls. We've also written tools for clients to help them perform web site updates or maintenance more easily.
