Definition of toolchain in English English dictionary

A set of tools for software development, often used in sequence so that the output of one tool comprises the input of the next

In software, a toolchain is the set of computer programs (tools) that are used to create a product (typically another computer program or system of programs). The tools may be used in a chain, so that the output of each tool becomes the input for the next, but the term is used widely to refer to any set of linked development tools.A simple software development toolchain consists of a text editor for editing source code, a compiler and linker to transform the source code into an executable program, and libraries to provide interfaces to the operating system. A complex product such as a video game needs tools for preparing sound effects, music, textures, 3-dimensional models, and animations, and further tools for combining these resources into the finished product.A set of software utilities used to perform an operation. For example, in program development, the toolchain to turn source code into a working machine language program includes a compiler, assembler, linker and debugger
