Chapter 21. Tools for software engineering

Often when you encounter a new software engineering tool, you may feel like learning how to use the tool is more trouble than doing your task in some older and simpler way. Once in a while this is really true, but more often than not, the new tool is worth mastering. We’re not out to make poor-but-honest, hand-pinched, wood-baked clay pots here. We’re using incredibly powerful machines building cutting-edge, full-featured, high-technology computer programs and we need all the help we can get!
