An IDE (Integrated Development Environment) is a computer program that facilitates by providing features beyond that of a simple text editor. Some typical IDE features are debugger/ support, tools/support, design tools and even performance analysis tools.

An IDE is intended to maximize a developer/programmer's productivity by providing a streamlined interface tuned to the task of software development.
