The software we use today are written in different programming languages such as Visual Basic, C + +, C #, Cobol, Delphi, Java etc. software developers or programmers to use language to build the primary structure of the software and then use a number programming tools to achieve a particular set of works. These tools are basically small software or programs by themselves designed to perform certain activities in specific programs, performance analysis, debugging, implementationetc. If a building large software, comprehensive and versatile than a large building, software development tools can be compared to smaller blocks.
Depending on the functions they perform, software development tools can generally be classified into the following categories:
- Tools for debugging
- Tools to check the correctness
- Tools for performance analysis
- Tools for building applications
- Integrated Development Environment or IDE
- Performanceanalyzers
- Tools for the memory
- Formal verification and static analysis tools
Some programming tools to run more than one function and therefore act as multipliers of development. With the growing popularity of open source (Linux, etc.), platforms, there are hundreds of free, open source software tools for programming on the Internet.
Most software today are built with C + + programming language. A large number of software development tools are, therefore,to work with C + +. C + + software development tools includes compilers, debuggers, interpreters, IDE. Some popular free C + + compilers and IDE are: Anjuta, Borland C + + 5.5, CC386, Dev-C + +, Intel C + + Compiler, LCC-Win, lightweight C + +, C + + Ultimate.
Enterprise solutions for software development are also available for a price. Usually combine several tools in one single software development. Among the many C + + tool, I found one that makes the job of a programmer much easier in making asoftware. Parasoft's Insure + + is a C + + programming software that offers many functions of development. This tool is designed primarily to identify and resolve problems related to memory in C + + with different versions. It analyzes the runtime memory access and to detect memory leaks and errors. Insure + + has a wide variety of configurations supported by Visual C + +, C + +. Net, Solaris, Linux, IBM AIX and HP-UX. GUI and command line interface is an important feature that makes this easy to use tool.Other features include detection of uninitialized variables and objects, analysis of the function calls at run-time, 3rd party dynamic / static libraries' identification of errors of memory and ability to interface with the Visual Studio.
Finding the right software development tool is no longer a pain, especially when open source platforms are becoming increasingly popular. If you want to develop a software using a programming language, you may need to download / purchase a number ofprogramming tools to perform step-by-step before issuing its final distribution.
