Jmeter

Apache JMeter is a 100% pure Java desktop application designed to load test functional behavior and measure performance. It was originally designed for testing Web Applications but has since expanded to other test functions.
Apache JMeter may be used to test performance both on static and dynamic resources (files, Servlets, Perl scripts, Java Objects, Data Bases and Queries, FTP Servers and more). It can be used to simulate a heavy load on a server, network or object to test its strength or to analyze overall performance under different load types. You can use it to make a graphical analysis of performance or to test your server/script/object behavior under heavy concurrent load.
I used Jmeter for performance testing.

TortoiseSVN

TortoiseSVN is a easy to use Revision control / version control / source control software for Windows. Since it's not an integration for a specific IDE we can use it with whatever development tools you like. After install it, "SVN update", "SVN commit", "SVN checkout", "TortoiseSVN" ... options come to right click. We just need to right click on the folder and do the relevent thing.

Doxygen and NDoc

I needed to generate documentation like javaDoc for C#. It can be done by NDoc. But since i used comments like java, Doxygen was very useful.

Not only C#, it can be used to generate documents for C++, C, Java, Objective-C, Python, IDL (Corba and Microsoft flavors), Fortran, VHDL, PHP, C#, and to some extent D.
