2.1 Integrated Development Environment

The Integrated Development Environment, TM, has been devised to increase the efficiency of software development
by integrating various tools such as the compiler, assembler, debugger, and editor into a common Graphical User
Interface (GUI). The TM has the following three primary functions:
z Manages the software development process using the concept of a project
z Provides a seamless environment as a common GUI for various tools
z Based on static program analysis, supports problem identification and reverse engineering needed during
large-scale software development
These functions together offer a greatly improved, comfortable development environment as compared when using
various tools individually.
