Open CASCADE provides complete set of development tools applicable for small in-house developments and for huge industrial projects.

Draw
The Open CASCADE Test Harness, also called Draw, is an easy-to-use testing tool for the geometric modeling libraries. It can be used to test and demonstrate modeling components before building an entire application. It includes:
A command interpreter based on the TCL language
A 2D and a 3D viewer based on X in Unix and Win32 in Windows NT
A set of pre-defined commands
The Test Harness is a single program written in C++, which can be called from interpreted commands. Pre-defined commands provide general-purpose services such as:
Getting help
Evaluating a script from a file
Capturing commands in a file
Managing views
Displaying objects
It also provides geometric commands to create and manipulate curves and surfaces, and topological commands to create and manipulate shapes.
The viewer support operations such as zoom, pan, rotation and full-screen views.
Geometric and topological commands implement geometry and topology resources, and provide examples of their use. You can add new test harness commands to Draw in order to test or demonstrate a new functionality which you are developing.
The source code of this harness is provided.

Wizards
On Windows platforms, three wizards based on MFC are available. They allow you to develop Open CASCADE applications rapidly and easily:
- The first wizard generates a Draw application to create new Draw commands
- The second wizard builds a Visualization application with the 3D or/and 2D viewer(s) that represents the Open CASCADE Hidden Line Removal algorithm
- The third wizard builds a CAD/CAM/CAE application that supports Open/Save operations and the 3D Viewer

WOK
It provides:
- A set of structuring elements to dispatch the source files of large software projects, as a set of development units on which developers act using standard tools.
- Organization of different working areas for development teams using workbenches so that concurrent development is easier.
- Organization workbenches in workshops to manage processes related to software maintenance.
Placement of workshops in factories to manage very large scale development. WOK leaves you free to access your favorites tools for performing the usual tasks of the development process:
- Editors
- Compilers and/or send various processors (lex ,yacc)
- Linkers to create shareable libraries
- Debuggers, investigation tools etc...
WOK comes as an extension of the Tcl scripting langage. It allows you to:
- Create entities and control their physical location
- Manage the development unit's build process
- Wrap access to various tools involved in the build process (Compilers, linkers, ..)
- Easily automate daily tasks
