Suggest tools/methods for efficient C++ development

Hi,

Can you please suggest some tools (except an IDE like Visual
Studio/Borland C Builder etc...) which can help me
refactor/reengineer/redesign my programs/classes easily and
efficiently?

Also, as the number of modules/projects I have handeled is increasing,
my collection of code I have written is expanding, what do you think
is the best way to manage all this code to maximize the ease of
finding components from among all the code I have written which can be
reused in my current projects?

I find myself wasting a lot of time doing above tasks using simple
"find and replace", "copy-paste", "find in files" techniques, and am
sure there must be better ways to improve my efficiency.... please
suggest.

Thanks.

CppUnit, CppUnitLite, or my clone:

Put all of it under test, and test all of it as often as possible. Then
refactor it in common, not separately.

Uh, yeah. You need to read /Refactoring/, and "find and replace" is either
renaming a variable, or its a sign you are still doing Code-and-Fix, and
have many similar functions that should be the same. Read the /Test-Driven
Development/ books (as recommended by www.swebok.org

A good refactoring tool is hard to find for C++(one is in development
state hosted on sourceforge.net ) but limited support is available in
the
Visual SlickEdit Version 9.0.

Download a trial version here :

Hi there I am looking for various .net/c# "productivity tools" (or whatever the generic term might be). Things which help in program development - if it is a refactoring system, or "code checker", or things like Spring framework, NUnit, NHibernate for example. If anyone has any ideas or good experience which such things I would be grateful for links so I can take a look and try to evaluate their usefulness for our little company.
