Enabling the Devel Kint module gives you a dpr() function, which pretty prints variables.
Devel Kint
===================
Provides a dpr() function, which pretty prints variables.
Useful during development. Also see similar helpers like dpm(), dvm().
AJAX developers in particular ought to install FirePHP Core from
http://www.firephp.org/ and put it in the devel directory. You may
use the devel-download Drush command to download the library. If downloading by hand,
your path to fb.php should look like libraries/FirePHPCore/lib/FirePHPCore/fb.php.
You can use svn checkout http://firephp.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/trunk/Libraries/FirePHPCore.
Then you can log php variables to the Firebug console. Is quite useful.
Included in this package is also:
- devel_node_access module which prints out the node_access records for a given node. Also offers hook_node_access_explain for all node access modules to implement. Handy.
- devel_generate.module which bulk creates nodes, users, comment, terms for development.
Devel Generate

Bulk creates nodes, users, comment, terms for development. Has Drush integration.
Some nifty Drush integration ships with devel and devel_generate. See `drush help` for details.

See develDrushTest.php for an example of unit testing of the Drush integration.
