Workbench was designed to interact with Salesforce.com organizations via the Force.com APIs.
To be more exact, Workbench includes robust support for the Force.com Partner, Bulk, Rest, Metadata, and Apex APIs that allows users to describe, query, manipulate, and migrate both data and metadata in Salesforce.com organizations, directly from their web browsers, through a simple and intuitive user interface.
Workbench also provides many advanced features for testing and troubleshooting the Force.com APIs, such as debug logs for API traffic, customizable SOAP headers,backward compatibility testing with previous API versions, and single sign-on integration within the Salesforce application.
Note: The Workbench add-on is cross-platform and it works on Mac OS X, Windows and Linux.
