Describe development environment.

Describe development environment.

Answers

Kavungya
This is a programmer’s virtual workbench, and can improve or inhibit the productivity of computer programmers. The development environments range from simple text editors and command-line compilers to fully interactive and integrated development environments (IDE). An IDE should be easy to use so that the programmers can concentrate on becoming more knowledgeable on programming concepts rather than the environment itself.

This criterion is considered to be a very important part of the IDE, when assessing a programming language, hence the programmers should evaluate the debugging facilities that accompany the languages, i.e., the existence of adequate diagnostic aids. The programming environments should contain extensive tools for tracing and debugging errors. The error diagnostics should be clear and meaningful, and the language should be robust as well as graceful in failure.
