An integrated development environment(IDE) also known as integrated design

environmentor integrated debugging environmentis a software applicationthat

provides comprehensive facilities tocomputer programmersfor software

development. An IDE normally consists of a:

Source code editor

ompiler and!or interpreter

"uild automation tools

De#ugger

Sometimes a version control systemand various tools are integrated to simplify the

construction of a $%I. &any modern IDEs also have aclass #rowser' an o#ect

inspector' and a class hierarchydiagram' for use with o#ectoriented software

development.*+,

Overview

IDEs are designed to ma-imie programmer productivity #y providing tightlyknit

components with similar user interfaces./his should mean that the programmer hasmuch less mode switchingto do than when using discrete development programs.

0owever' #ecause an IDE is #y its very nature a complicated piece of software' this

high productivity only occurs after a long learning time.

/ypically an IDE is dedicated to a specificprogramming language' so as to provide a

feature set which most closely matches theprogramming paradigmsof the language.

0owever' some multiplelanguage IDEs are in use' such as Eclipse'ActiveState

1omodo' recent versions of2et"eans' &icrosoft 3isual Studioand 4inDev.

IDEs typically present a single program in which all development is done. /hisprogram typically provides many features for authoring' modifying' compiling'

deploying and de#ugging software. /he aim is to a#stract the configuration necessary

to piece together command line utilities in a cohesive unit' which theoretically

reduces the time to learn a language' and increases developer productivity. It is also

thought that the tight integration of development tasks can further increase

productivity. 5or e-ample' code can #e compiled while #eing written' providing

instant feed#ack on synta- errors. 4hile most modern IDEs are graphical' IDEs in use

#efore the advent of windowing systems (such as &icrosoft 4indowsor6++) were

te-t#ased' using function keys or hotkeysto perform various tasks (/ur#o 7ascalis a

common e-ample). /his contrasts with software development using unrelated tools'

such as vi'$or make.
