What are good software development tools to pair with OpenCV?

edit

Hello, I am a university student and I am on a team who is developing an application for an embedded system using OpenCV, C++, CUDA, and Caffe on Ubuntu 16.04 (because the CUDA toolkit still isn't updated for the newest LTS release). I was wondering what APIs or tools get used to do automated testing and environment setup for an application like this. Any input is appreciated, thank you so much!
