# IDE Tools

A modern editor can enhance your testing experience. We recommend VSCode due to the extensive modules library. Here are the plugins we maintain for each platform.

### VSCode Plugin

The VSCode plugin is the best way for you to interact with TestBox alongside the BoxLang plugin. It allows you to run tests, generate tests, navigate tests and much more.
