Dependencies
A rewrite of the old legacy software "depends.exe" in C# for Windows
Dependencies is a rewrite of the legacy software Dependency Walker which was shipped along Windows SDKs, but whose development stopped around 2006. Dependencies can help Windows developers troubleshooting their dll load dependencies issues. Dependencies is currently shipped as two binaries (no installer present) : Dependencies.exe as a CLI tool and DependenciesGui.exe for its GUI counterpart (see screenshot). Just click on one of the release numbers above (preferably the latest), download and uncompress the archive and run DependenciesGui.exe. Since the binary is not signed, SmartScreen might scream at runtime. Dependencies also bundle ClrPhTester.exe, a dumpbin-like executable used to test for non-regressions. Dependencies currently does not recursively resolve child imports when parsing a new PE since it can be really memory-hungry to do so ( it can over a GB even for "simple" PEs ). -

PerfView
PerfView is a CPU and memory performance-analysis tool
PerfView is a free performance analysis tool that helps isolate CPU and memory-related performance issues. It is a Windows tool, but it also has some support for analyzing data collected on Linux machines. It works for a wide variety of scenarios, but has a number of special features for investigating performance issues in code written for the .NET runtime. If you are unfamiliar with PerfView, there are PerfView video tutorials. Also, Vance Morrison's blog gives an overview and getting started information. PerfView is built on a library called Microsoft.Diagnostics.Tracing.TraceEvent, which knows how to both collect and parse Event Tracing for Windows (ETW) data. Thus if there is any information that PerfView collects and processes that you would like to manipulate yourself programmatically, you would probably be interested in the TraceEvent Library Documentation. -

pipx
Install and run Python applications in isolated environments
pipx is a tool to help you install and run end-user applications written in Python. It's roughly similar to macOS's brew, JavaScript's npx, and Linux's apt. It's closely related to pip. In fact, it uses pip, but is focused on installing and managing Python packages that can be run from the command line directly as applications. pip is a general-purpose package installer for both libraries and apps with no environment isolation. pipx is made specifically for application installation, as it adds isolation yet still makes the apps available in your shell: pipx creates an isolated environment for each application and its associated packages. pipx does not ship with pip, but installing it is often an important part of bootstrapping your system. By default, pipx uses the same package index as pip, PyPI. pipx can also install from all other sources pip can, such as a local directory, wheel, git url, etc. -

Karate
Test automation made simple
Karate is the only open-source tool to combine API test-automation, mocks, performance-testing and even UI automation into a single, unified framework. The BDD syntax popularized by Cucumber is language-neutral, and easy for even non-programmers. Assertions and HTML reports are built-in, and you can run tests in parallel for speed. There’s also a cross-platform stand-alone executable for teams not comfortable with Java. You don’t have to compile code. Just write tests in a simple, readable syntax, carefully designed for HTTP, JSON, GraphQL and XML. And you can mix API and UI test-automation within the same test script. A Java API also exists for those who prefer to programmatically integrate Karate’s rich automation and data-assertion capabilities. It is worth pointing out that JSON is a ‘first class citizen’ of the syntax such that you can express payload and expected data without having to use double-quotes and without having to enclose JSON field names in quotes. -

Buildbot
Python-based continuous integration testing framework
Buildbot is an open-source framework for automating software build, test, and release processes. At its core, Buildbot is a job scheduling system: it queues jobs, executes the jobs when the required resources are available, and reports the results. Your Buildbot installation has one or more masters and a collection of workers. The masters monitor source-code repositories for changes, coordinate the activities of the workers, and report results to users and developers. Workers run on a variety of operating systems. You configure Buildbot by providing a Python configuration script to the master. This script can be very simple, configuring built-in components, but the full expressive power of Python is available. This allows dynamic generation of configuration, customized components, and anything else you can devise. The framework itself is implemented in Twisted Python, and compatible with all major operating systems. -

Zerocopy
Zerocopy makes zero-cost memory manipulation effortless
Zerocopy is a Rust library designed to make zero-cost memory manipulation both safe and effortless. It allows developers to reinterpret or convert raw byte sequences into structured types—and vice versa—without writing unsafe code directly. The crate provides safe abstractions for transmuting data while preserving Rust’s strict safety guarantees, removing the need for manual memory manipulation. Zerocopy introduces a suite of conversion traits such as TryFromBytes, FromBytes, IntoBytes, and FromZeros for defining how types can be safely constructed from or written to byte sequences. It also includes marker traits like KnownLayout, Immutable, and Unaligned to define type characteristics used in conversions. Complementing these traits are conversion macros that perform compile-time checks to ensure size and alignment safety, providing zero runtime overhead for unconditional casts. -
