Check My DNS

Browser-based DNS resolver quality measurement tool. Uses the browser to generate many resolver queries and tests for features they should have, such as EDNS support, IPv6, QNAME Minimization, etc.

This test is also available as a CLI tool: https://github.com/DNS-OARC/cmdns-cli

DNSSEC Debugger

Analyze DNSSEC deployment for a zone and show errors in the configuration.

DNSViz

Gives an overview of DNSSEC delegations, response sizes, and name servers.

DNS X-Ray

The website has an online test, which performs DNS lookups. These DNS lookups test if certain resource records are overwritten in the cache. The tool can then determine what DNS software is used, where the server is located, how many caches there are, etc.

EDNS Compliance Tester

Test name server of zones for correct EDNS support.

The Transitive Trust and DNS Dependency Graph Portal

Shows the trust dependencies in DNS. Given a domain name, it can show how zones delegate to each other and why. The delegation is done between IP addresses and zones.

Root Canary Project

The project used to monitor the first root KSK key rollover. Now it contains the paper "Roll, Roll, Roll your Root: A Comprehensive Analysis of the First Ever DNSSEC Root KSK Rollover" describing the experiences of the first root KSK rollover

Additionally, it includes a tester for DNSSEC algorithm support, which shows the algorithms supported by the currently used recursive resolver. It provides statistics about support for DNSSEC algorithms. It has a web-based test to test your own resolver and provides a live monitoring using the RIPE Atlas.
