Programming software is a software which helps the programmer in developing other software.

Software Development Process:

 Step 1: Planning – includes Requirement Analysis. Customers typically have an abstract idea
of what they want as an end result.

 Step 2: Implementing - is the part of the process where software engineers actually program
the code for the project.

 Step 3: Testing -is an integral and important phase of the software development process. This
part of the process ensures that defects are recognized as soon as possible. Software testing
can be stated as the process of validating and verifying that a software
program/application/product:

 Step 4: Deployment and Maintenance-Deployment starts after the code is appropriately tested,
approved for release, and sold or otherwise distributed into a production environment. This
may involve installation, customization, testing, and possibly an extended period of
evaluation. Maintaining and enhancing software to cope with newly discovered faults or
requirements can take substantial time and effort, as missed requirements may force a
redesign of the software.

Programming Softwares For

Writing Code with IDE
 Integrated Development
z Environments
IDE stands for Integrated Development Environment. It is a software application that
combines all of the features and tools needed by a software developer.

 Text editor - program coding are done

 Compiler -a program that converts instructions into a machine-code or lower-level

form so that they can be read and executed by a computer.

 Linker -is a computer program that takes one or more object files generated by a
compiler and combines them into one, executable program

 Debugger- is a computer program used by programmers to test and debug a

target program

 Ability to launch and run applications from within IDE environment

It is an open-source code editor developed by Microsoft

for Windows, Linux and Mac OS. Visual Studio Code is
based on an Electron framework. According to a survey
done in 2018 by Stack Overflow, it was ranked the most
popular developer environment tool among others.

Linux and Mac OS.
z

- It is one of the most used IDEs and can run on Windows,

Linux, Mac OS X, and Solaris. It is a free and open-source IDE
that is written in Java. This IDE consists of an interface that
comes with a drag-and-drop feature and a list of convenient
project templates. You can use NetBeans to create C/C++
applications with dynamic and static libraries.
z

It is a cross-platform source code editor which supports

several languages and markup languages. Sublime Text
has a Python application programming interface and has a
slick user interface along with incredible features and
amazing performance. Programmers can also add
additional functions with numerous plugins that are
community-built.
z

It is a free, open-source IDE that was developed in C++

using wxWidgets as a GUI toolkit. Code::Blocks is an
extensible and highly customizable IDE that performs on all
platforms including Linux, Mac and Windows. Any function
can be added to this IDE by installing or coding a plugin.
For e.g., functions of compiling and debugging are available
because of plugins. Code::Blocks support various pre-built
plugins as well as custom plugins. Programmers can easily
tweak the IDE accordingly and can also easily navigate
through the tab interface. Initially, it was created for C++ but
now you can also run C programs.

Another good IDE for C or C++ programming used by the

myriad of programmers. It is an open-source software that
can run on all major platforms including Windows, Linux and
OS X. It provides great support for compilers and also allows
users to know more about the errors by just clicking on it.
z

- It is a complete IDE known for providing a highly visual and

automated framework for fast development of an application.
CodeWarrior was published by NXP Semiconductors for
editing, compiling and debugging software. This IDE can run
on Windows and Linux OS and can simplify the most complex
activities making developer’s work simple and easy.
z

- It is a full-featured IDE for C or C++ languages. For

compilation, it uses MinGW port of GNU Compiler Collection
(GCC) or any other GCC compilers. It is supported on
Windows OS for the Software Development.
z

is Minimalist GNU for Windows which provides Graphical User

Interface based Integrated Development Environment for MS
Windows applications. It also has compilers for C, C++,
Fortran and ADA. It doesn’t depend on any 3rd parties DLL
but requires DLL files provided by Microsoft itself.
HARDWARE z - is the collection of physical parts of a computer system. This
includes the computer case, monitor, keyboard, and mouse.
