Tools and standards that programmers use to write, track and connect software, including version control, which records and organizes changes to source code, the integrated development environment that gathers editing and building features in one program, and the application programming interface that lets one program use the services of another. An invention belongs here when the cited article describes it as a tool or interface for building or connecting software.
