<p>A <b>programming tool</b> or <b>software development tool</b> is a <a href="Computer_program" title="Computer program">computer program</a> that is used to <a href="Software_development" title="Software development">develop</a> another computer program, usually by helping the developer manage <a href="Computer_file" title="Computer file">computer files</a>. For example, a <a href="Programmer" title="Programmer">programmer</a> may use a tool called a <a href="Source_code_editor" class="mw-redirect" title="Source code editor">source code editor</a> to edit <a href="Source_code" title="Source code">source code</a> files, and then a <a href="Compiler" title="Compiler">compiler</a> to convert the source code into <a href="Machine_code" title="Machine code">machine code</a> files. They may also use <a href="Build_automation" title="Build automation">build tools</a> that automatically package executable program and data files into shareable <a href="Package_manager" title="Package manager">packages</a> or <a href="Installation_(computer_programs)" title="Installation (computer programs)">install kits</a>.
</p><p>A set of tools that are run one after another, with each tool feeding its output to the next one, is called a <a href="Toolchain" title="Toolchain">toolchain</a>. An <a href="Integrated_development_environment" title="Integrated development environment">integrated development environment</a> (IDE) integrates the function of several tools into a single program. Usually, an IDE provides a source code editor as well as other built-in or <a href="Plug-in_(computing)" title="Plug-in (computing)">plug-in</a> tools that help with <a href="Compiler" title="Compiler">compiling</a>, <a href="Debugging" title="Debugging">debugging</a>, and <a href="Software_test" class="mw-redirect" title="Software test">testing</a>.
</p><p>Whether a program is considered a development tool can be subjective. Some programs, such as the <a href="GNU_compiler_collection" class="mw-redirect" title="GNU compiler collection">GNU compiler collection</a>, are used exclusively for software development while others, such as <a href="Windows_Notepad" title="Windows Notepad">Notepad</a>, are not meant specifically for development but are nevertheless often used for programming.
