It's an online meeting space where software development stakeholders can work together, regardless of their time zone and region, to participate in discussions, documentation, and project deliverables.

Integrated Development Environment ( IDE for short, also known as Integration Design Environment, Integration Debugging Environment) is an application software that assists program developers in developing software. It can assist in writing source code text and compiling and packaging within the development tool. Become available programs, some can even design graphical interfaces.

IDEs usually include a programming language editor, automated build tools, and often a debugger. Some IDEs include compilers / interpreters, such as Microsoft's Microsoft Visual Studio, others do not, such as Eclipse, SharpDevelop, etc. These IDEs compile code by calling third-party compilers. Sometimes the IDE also includes a version control system and some tools for designing graphical user interfaces. Many modern object-oriented IDEs also include category browsers, object viewers, and object structure diagrams. Although some IDEs currently support multiple programming languages (such as Eclipse, NetBeans, Microsoft Visual Studio), in general, IDEs are mainly tailored to specific programming languages (such as Visual Basic). ^[2]
