If you’re a software developer, you need to know about these tools. If you don’t know how to use them, then your company will be at risk of being left behind by the competition.
Best 7 Software Development Tools
This article will help you learn how to use these best software development tools so that they can be used by your coworkers or clients.
1. Azure
Azure is a cloud computing platform and infrastructure created by Microsoft. It was launched in 2010 and is one of the most popular products in its portfolio, with over 1 million active customers as of 2018. Although it’s not free to use like other cloud platforms (like AWS), you can get started with just $0 upfront if you sign up for an Azure trial account at https://azure.microsoft/. The main advantage of using Azure over other services such as AWS or Google Cloud Platforms is that they provide full support for all major programming languages (e.g., Java, NodeJS).
2. Python
Python is a popular programming language that’s used in many different industries. It’s easy to learn and great for data science. Let’s take a look at why Python is so great!
- Python is easy to learn because it has a clear, simple syntax. There are also community resources available if you need help learning the basics of the language or want to dive deeper into specific areas of Python functionality (like machine learning).
- Python makes it possible for you to write scripts that can execute on their own without needing an interpreter running on your computer–which means that once your script is finished executing there will be no trace left behind by itself save for its output file(s). This can be useful if you want multiple users working together on one project but don’t want everyone having access all over the network simultaneously; instead just tell everyone where they should save their work locally before saving anything remotely sensitive backup somewhere else (such as Dropbox/Gmail etc.).
3. Jenkins
Jenkins is a continuous integration tool that monitors your code for changes and triggers events based on those changes. It’s open source, which means anyone can check it out for themselves or contribute to its development.
Jenkins is highly extensible and has an extensive plugin ecosystem that you can use to extend its functionality even further.
4. JIRA
Jira is a bug-tracking, issue-tracking, and project-management tool. JIRA is used by software developers to track issues and bugs in the development lifecycle of their projects.
JIRA can be used as a stand-alone tool or integrated with other tools like GIT (version control) for better collaboration between teams. It has great support for agile methodologies such as Scrum which allow you to track your sprints using story cards (cards with text on them).
5. GitHub
GitHub is a web-based hosting service for version control using Git. It offers all of the distributed version control and source code management (SCM) functionality of Git as well as adding its own features.
GitHub can be used to host your project’s repository on their servers, but it also allows you to host private repositories for free if you wish. You can also use GitHub Pages to create a static website from within your repository by simply cloning it into your local machine and then uploading it with one click.
6. AWS
AWS is a cloud computing service that provides a broad set of on-demand cloud computing services. The company’s remote computing services include web hosting, storage, databases, and other tools for developing, testing, and deploying applications in the cloud. AWS’s goal is to make it easier for developers to build and deploy applications by providing them with all the tools they need in one place:
- A continuously growing collection of prebuilt packages that are ready to use out of the box
- Simple steps for getting started on AWS via wizards provided by default with no required coding knowledge needed (e.g., getting started with web applications)
AWS is designed to make it easier for developers to build and deploy applications without having any previous experience in programming languages such as Java or Python; users simply download an application from the marketplace or via a direct link from another site like GitHub or Bitbucket using their browser instead of having an IDE installed locally on their computer(s).
7. Visual Studio Code
Visual Studio Code is a cross-platform, open-source code editor that is based on Electron. It supports many languages like JavaScript, TypeScript, and C++. The built-in Git integration provides support for version control such as Git commit messages and individual file history tracking.
Visual Studio Code also has a built-in code refactoring tool that can be used to change string literals into functions or class names etc., but it does not have any error-checking feature (this may be added later).
These are the most popular development tools used in software development.
- Azure is a cloud computing platform and infrastructure created by Microsoft. It provides a wide range of services including virtual machines, databases, storage, and networking resources to build, test and deploy applications across multiple devices on demand.
- Python is a high-level programming language that is used for a variety of applications from web development to scientific computing etc., it has been extensively used in industry because of its rich library which makes it easy to develop complex applications without writing lengthy code lines again and again as C++/Java does; however, Python does not have support for some important features like OOPs (Object Oriented Programming) or other advanced concepts like closures but these can be achieved through libraries like sci-kit-learn which will be discussed later in this article when we discuss machine learning techniques with Python
Conclusion
The development tools listed above are some of the best and most popular software development tools. We hope this list will help you to choose a tool that is right for your needs.
