Gartner defines the DevOps continuous compliance automation market as tools that organizations use to assess and report against an increasingly large number of contractual obligations and regulatory regimes. These regimes are expanding beyond the traditional regulations involving health privacy (HIPAA) and personal privacy (GDPR) to include cybersecurity (NIST 800-218) and government (FedRAMP, DORA [EU]) mandates. These tools allow automated enforcement, assessment of security and compliance policies as part of application delivery workflows, and for the efficient generation of audit reports and publishing them to audit consumers. Platform and product engineering teams can use the tools to report on and meet their organization’s control requirements.
Integrated Development Environment (IDE) software provides a unified interface to write, test, and debug code efficiently. It typically includes a source code editor, compiler or interpreter, debugger, and build tools, all within a graphical user interface (GUI) that simplifies navigation and development workflows. Most IDEs also support features like intelligent code completion, syntax highlighting, version control integration, and project management tools. By offering everything in one place, IDEs reduce setup time, minimize context switching, and help developers detect and fix errors quickly. This results in faster, more organized, and more accurate software development. IDEs are widely used by programmers, software developers, data analysts, and engineers working across various programming languages and platforms, from web and mobile apps to enterprise systems.
