Integrated development environments, in short hereinafter IDE, refer to software applications that facilitate the development of other applications. IDE is designed originally for software programmers and developers to do their job. As such, it encompass all programming tasks in one application, as you can imagine it develop to deliver the main benefits of offer a central interface with all the tools a developer needs, typical including the followings:
Depending on the context the specific IDE is developed and designed for, the IDE may be a stand-alone application, or included as part of one or more compatible applications or function or module of a bigger application.
The boundary between an IDE and other parts of the broader software development environment is not well-defined; sometimes, in particular for the modern generation, a version control system or various tools known as source code management system (SCM/SCMS) to simplify the construction of a graphical user interface (GUI) are integrated for team to cooperate for the source code branching and merging, and subsequent build for the continuous integration (CI) and continuous delivery (CD) or integrated as part of the bigger secure DevOps or DevSecOps and value stream management (VSM).
For most of the developer or programmer, IDE is one of their must know subject matters, as they use it day-to-day to do their jobs, to handle their needs for authoring, modifying, compiling, deploying and debugging software.
One aim of the IDE for enterprise is to reduce the configuration necessary to piece together multiple development utilities, in particular for large development teams. Furthermore, learning to use the IDE is faster than manually integrating and learning all of the individual tools.
As you can imagine, the market is with a range and variety of IDE types, invented for solving a variety of business and developer contexts. Some are designed to work with one specific language, such as C/C++, Java or dotNet, while others are cloud-based IDEs, IDEs customized for the production of mobile applications or for HTML, and also IDEs that are meant specifically for Apple or Microsoft development or cross platform where become mainstream for build once and the application can use cross platform and device basis.
Generalization to say so, open source IDE may lack some of the core functionality that appeal to enterprise and large developer team functionality, as well as the overall commercial warranty and software update and maintenance, where most of the commercial developed products depend on. When deciding what type of IDE to invest in, it is important for you to know what language you intend to develop your product in, before deciding on the IDE. Be aware as well the modern generation for the rapid application development (RAD) where most likely you are expected to integrate your development into DevOps for CI/CD and DevSecOps.
