"Workbench is a powerful, web-based suite of tools designed for adminstrators and developers to interact with Salesforce.com organizations via the Force.com APIs. Workbench includes robust support for the Force.com Partner, Bulk, Rest, Streaming, Metadata, and Apex APIs that allows users to describe, query, manipulate, and migrate both data and metadata in Salesforce.com organizations directly in their web browser with a simple and intuitive user interface. 

Workbench also provides many advanced features for testing and troubleshooting the Force.com APIs, such as customizable SOAP headers, debug logs for API traffic, backward compatibility testing with previous API versions, and single sign-on integration within the Salesforce application."

Not only does Workbench do all this, but it's also now available on DeveloperForce as a free SaaS tool! 


Give it a try and share your favorite tricks!

Maybe you'd even like to volunteer to present them at a future group meeting as a full or mini talk…

I love Workbench! Great pick Matthew!

I use it for quick queries and exports, anonymous code execution, data updates, etc. 

There's also Firefox and Chrome extensions that makes it incredibly easy to open Workbench for the Org you're currently logged into:
It's a great tool for both developers and admins. Very highly recommended!
