A Integrated Development Environment (IDE) is a development environment that is an integrated software environment.
- Context:
- It can (typically) include a Software Code Editor, Debugger, Compiler, Build Automation Tools, and Version Control System.
- It can range from being a General Programming IDE to being a Domain-Specific IDE such as a numerical analysis development environment.
- It can range from being a Multi-Language IDE to being a Language-Specific IDE, such as a Java IDE, Python IDE, or a Javascript IDE.
- It can provide Intelligent Code Completion and Refactoring Tools to make it easier for developers to write and maintain code.
- It can offer IDE Plugins that allows developers to extend the functionality of the IDE by installing additional tools, frameworks, and features.
- It can range from being a Desktop IDE or a Web-based IDE/Cloud-Based IDE.
- ...
- Example(s):
- IntelliJ IDE.
- Visual Studio IDE.
- Eclipse IDE.
- SharpDevelop, Lazarus (IDE), ...
- Python IDE's, such as: PyCharm IDE and Spyder IDE.
- …
- Counter-Example(s):
- See: Software Program, Build Automation, Intelli-Sense, Net Beans, GUI, Class Browser, Object Browser.

- An integrated development environment (IDE) or interactive development environment is a software application that provides comprehensive facilities to computer programmers for software development. An IDE normally consists of a source code editor, build automation tools and a debugger. Several modern IDEs integrate with Intelli-sense coding features.
Some IDEs contain a compiler, interpreter, or both, such as Net Beans and Eclipse; others do not, such as SharpDevelop and Lazarus. The boundary between an integrated development environment and other parts of the broader software development environment is not well-defined. Sometimes a version control system and various tools are integrated to simplify the construction of a GUI. Many modern IDEs also have a class browser, an object browser, and a class hierarchy diagram, for use in object-oriented software development.

- QUOTE: . Automated source code analysis, implemented in integrated development environments like Eclipse, has improved software maintenance significantly. However, integrating the often large amount of corresponding documentation requires new approaches to the analysis of natural language documents that go beyond simple full-text search or information retrieval (IR) techniques …
