[[Computing]]: [[Software]]: [[Types]]: [[Integrated Development Environment|IDE]]{{seedling}}

An [[Integrated Development Environment]] (IDE) is a computer program (software) designed to handle several parts of the development process more or less seamlessly in order to speed the coding-compiling-debugging process.

A typical IDE will have the following features:
* One-key compiling/building/running of source code
* Automatic de-referencing of error breakpoints (i.e. when there's an error in the code, the IDE highlights the exact line(s) which caused the error)
* Single-stepping through code, with the ability to inspect variables and determine their current value
* Syntax highlighting (i.e. different syntax elements are shown in different colors; certain unclosed paired delimiters, such as quotes, are much easier to spot)
* "Project management", i.e. the files used by a given development project are listed within the IDE and often loaded automatically
* Context-sensitive help, i.e. highlight an identifier, press the help key (usually F1) and find the documentation for that identifier

Some newer IDEs also have these features:
* Function fill-in popups which show:
** all arguments needed by a function, subroutine, or method
** which argument you are currently filling in, based on cursor position
* Listing of available fields/methods: on typing the name of an object plus the field-delimiter character (e.g. "." in [[VB]]), a list of defined fields and methods will pop up
