Everything about Programming tool

Computer program used to develop another program

A programming tool or software development tool is a computer program that is used to develop another computer program, usually by helping the developer manage computer files. For example, a programmer may use a tool called a source code editor to edit source code files, and then a compiler to convert the source code into machine code files. They may also use build automation tools that automatically package executable program and data files into shareable packages or install kits. Wikipedia →
