How to choose Software Development tools

Start with the work taking most of your time. You may need help writing code, managing a shared project, testing connections, or preparing an app for release. Your current services also matter, since many choices connect with tools you already use.

  1. 01 of 03

    Write and improve code

    Everyday coding may call for a flexible editor or more guided help. This can include AI coding assistant work, code generation, and tasks where you build app with natural language.

    • Visual Studio Code is a strong pick when you want a customizable code editor that works with Git, Copilot, Claude, and OpenAI.
    • Claude Code helps most when you want AI to explain, review, refactor, and debug code from the command line.
    • Cursor suits coding with AI support built around editing, generation, reviews, and debugging.
    • Visual Studio Codefree

    Plan, share, and test

    Team development often moves from a shared code base to working APIs and product designs. Keeping those parts connected makes reviews and handoffs easier.

    • GitHub is made for hosting code, tracking issues, reviewing pull requests, and automating Git work with a team.
    • Postman focuses on developing, documenting, monitoring, and testing APIs.
    • Figma helps teams design and prototype apps or websites together before development.

    Release and protect your work

    As a project moves toward release, deployment and code security become more important. Software composition analysis can also check the outside components used in your software.

    • Docker is useful for developing microservices and deploying web applications or AI agents.
    • Aikido Security brings code, dependency, and infrastructure scanning together with automated fixes for vulnerabilities.
    • SkynetAccessibility Scanner checks websites and content for accessibility issues.
