# Overview

With Bespoken, develop faster and better. Do not slow-down for:

* Time-consuming server deployments

* Over-complicated and highly manual testing routines

* Time-intensive and error-prone regression and utterance testing

The command-line tools include:

* [Test](https://read.bespoken.io/unit-testing/getting-started/#run-your-tests) - Test your voice application with minimum code required using YAML files

* [Proxy](https://read.bespoken.io/cli/commands/#proxy) - Easily debug Alexa requests by having them send directly to your laptop

* [Launch](https://read.bespoken.io/cli/commands/#launch) - Send a Launch Request to your Alexa skill

* [Utter](https://read.bespoken.io/cli/commands/#utter) and [Intend](https://read.bespoken.io/cli/commands/#intend) - Send intents and utterances to your Alexa skill

* [Speak](https://read.bespoken.io/cli/commands/#speak) - Send a request directly an Alexa Virtual Device - uses the "real" Alexa! Magic!

You can also use:

* --version, -v - Indicates the current BST and Node versions

* --help, -h - Shows usage information
