What testing tools should be used in conjunction with Stack Overflow? By "testing tools," I mean online tools for testing code like jsFiddle and Codepad.

It seems that the most common ones in use are jsFiddle for HTML/CSS/JavaScript and Codepad for interpreted/compiled languages like PHP and C++.

I recently discovered ideone, which is like Codepad, but supports more languages.

Does Stack Overflow recommend one or more of these sites, or is it up to users to choose?

    Who exactly do you mean by "Stack Overflow"? The company? The community? Are you sure this is rightly posted on Meta Stack Overflow?

  • I mean the community. Where should this be posted if not on meta ?

  • I think this qualifies as a "question about Stack Overflow." I've edited a bit to make it more focused, and will vote to reopen if I see that it does get closed.

For web apps I would recommend:

  • JSBin - http://jsbin.com

  • jsFiddle These two are great because you can share the code and get input from other developers on small 'hello world' examples of your issue.

  • CSSLint - csslint.net - which is more 'verification' to your css code.

  • JSLint - jslint.com Both will give you recommandations on what you can/should improve in your code.

IDEone - is cool you might want to check cloud9 which give you similar things with great integration of github.

Other testing tools for the back-end... there are so many and in most of the cases you want something that is supported with your technology (e.g. php, java etc').
