About:
EiffelStudio is a comprehensive Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for the Eiffel programming language. It provides advanced tools for editing, compiling, debugging, and testing software, supporting the Design by Contract methodology. This enables developers to build robust, reliable, and maintainable software systems efficiently.
Key Features:
  • Integrated Development Environment (IDE) with advanced editors
  • Support for Design by Contract (DbC) for robust software
  • Refactoring tools and automatic documentation generation
  • Multi-platform support (Windows, Linux, macOS)
  • Interactive debugger and testing facilities
Use Cases:
  • Developing high-reliability enterprise software systems
  • Teaching and learning object-oriented software engineering
  • Refactoring and maintaining legacy Eiffel codebases
Alternatives:
  • SmartEiffel – A free Eiffel compiler, but lacks the full IDE experience of EiffelStudio.
  • Visual Studio Code – A general-purpose editor that can be configured for Eiffel but lacks deep language integration.
