software application used to develop software
An integrated development environment (IDE) is a software application that provides tools to help programmers write, test, and fix code all in one place. It matters because it makes the process of building software faster and easier by combining features like code editing, debugging, and testing into a single program rather than requiring developers to use separate tools.

An integrated development environment (IDE) is software that provides a relatively comprehensive set of features for software development. An IDE is intended to enhance productivity by providing development features with a consistent user experience as opposed to using separate tools, such as vi, GDB, GCC, and make.
