Here's some (mainly) standalone tools and utilities for Windows VSTs. Most of these are rather old now. Do you know of any others? I'm particularly interested in finding a command line tool to extract and make a text file of the kind of information that these tools provide.
Kondor from Tobybear is a VST plugin for debugging and analysing the VST interface. It gives host info, plugin config and has an event monitor with a log list that can be exported as a text file.
Mrs Watson by Teragon is a command line host that pushes an audio or MIDI file through one or more audio plugins.
UltimatePluginTool from Ultimate Outsider Searches for duplicate plugin files, and helps fix NI plugins and libraries.
VST-Plug-In Unit Test by Christian Budde allows automated tests for a whole collection of plugins.
VST-Plug-In Screenshot Tool by Christian Budde is a command line tool that saves a png image of a passed-in name and preset.
VST Plug-in Analyser by Christian Budde can display impulse/frequency response, hphase/group delay, distortion, nice graphs.
VST Scanner by VB Audio validates, registers and tests VST fx plugins. It has two tabs : the "Scan Plugins" section searches for VST plugins (instruments and fx) and validates them, and the "Test Plugin" section allows you to do analysis of a particular plugin (or rack of plugins) to tackle possible problems.
VST-Spy from Tobybear scans a folder tree to show a highly detailed table that can be customised by showing/hiding columns and exported as a csv file.
Tools and utilities for VSTs (command line or GUI)?

Command-line tools from Dplug: https://github.com/AuburnSounds/dplug/tree/master/tools
- stress-plugin is a tool to open a VST UI multiple times, gives min, median, avg and total timings. I use it to check for UI performance. Should work for Cocoa and Win32 UI.
- process is a tool to process a stereo wav file with a VST and give another audio file. Using it to check for DSP performance.
Not tested with plugins in the wild though.
