Quote: an environment is an organized set of tools and facilities supporting an organization of people in their work [»holtAW5_1983]

Quote: software engineering environment is for development and maintenance of large programs; management aspects are stressed [»nygaK_1981]

Quote: software development requires much more than programming (e.g., telephoning customers); an environment should support all of these activities [»leblDB5_1984]

Quote: the PDL environment includes syntax checker, cross reference, consistency checks, expansion facility, and emulator [»nejmBA2_1988]

QuoteRef: cbb_1973 ;;12/2/74 programming occurs in an environment

Quote: create an application engineering environment for producing a family of programs; include a language for specifying family members; takes about five staff years [»guptNK1_1997]

Quote: flexible, integrated text processing is required for a programming environment

Quote: during program development often switch between editing and other tasks

Quote: an editor should be an integral part of a programming environment; full access to system from editor and vice versa [»ledgH_1981]

Quote: fast, minimalist UI for textual applications; editing, scrolling, dedicated mouse buttons, no icons, no pop-up menu; even shell procedures can use the graphical UI; based on Unix file operations and Oberon [»pikeR6_1991a]

Quote: can change a Smalltalk environment and its applications while the system is executing

Quote: rapid code-test cycle using on-line construction sets of example programs, frames, scripts, functional index, alphabetical index, and debugging support [»akscRM11_1993]

Quote: each CADES holon includes project management information such as start date and percentage complete [»pearDJ7_1973]

Quote: designers need help in keeping track of notes and recalling them appropriately; requires understanding of the design process and the problem [»soloE5_1984]

QuoteRef: grahRM2_1973 ;;113 All data access through DES database so can show usage info

Quote: a DSEE tasklist contains references to tasks; for managing each user's active tasks and each library's active and completed tasks [»leblDB5_1984]

Quote: want easy access to program information that is derived by compilers

Quote: PCM uses a database of parse trees of each program; PCM uses this information to assist with editing and display [»yonkMD10_1975]

Quote: TOPD operations work on the data-base that represents the developing program [»hendP9_1975]

Quote: PDS uses a database about the program that gives its modules and entities, their interdependence and refinement history [»cheaTE_1979]

Quote: DIF is a software Hypertext for managing software; used for a dozen systems with 40Mbytes of text [»gargPK11_1987]

Quote: programming projects generate innumerable, small data bases for documentation and project control; time critical and wide variation [»mashJR_1976a]

Quote: constantly find new uses for UNIX tools in maintaining source programs and text; access provided by PWB [»mashJR_1976a]

Quote: programming projects tend to use UNIX commands (sort, ed, etc.) for project database management; more flexible than a database system

Quote: after each software development step, it must move to another place; avoids hidden information and insures isolation [»mcgoMJ7_1983]

Quote: software should move automatically during development; makes milestones visible [»mcgoMJ7_1983]

Quote: most programming language designs have not encouraged helpful programming environments [»yonkMD10_1975]

Quote: a refactoring browser can split up long routines, rename methods and variables, move code with drag and drop; e.g., Brant [»huntA_2000]
