All of Altera's devices are supported by a common design environment, the [[Quartus Prime]] design software, which is a multi-platform development environment that includes various tools needed to design FPGAs, SoC FPGAs, and CPLDs.<ref>{{cite news | first=Clive | last=Maxfield | url=https://www.eetimes.com/alteras-quartus-ii-design-software-features-qsys-system-integration-tool/ | title=Altera's Quartus Prime design software features Qsys System Integration Tool | work=[[EETimes]] | date=May 9, 2011}}</ref><ref>{{cite news | first=Clive  | last=Maxfield | url=https://www.eetimes.com/latest-and-greatest-quartus-ii-design-software-from-altera/ | title=Latest and greatest Quartus II design software from Altera | work=[[EETimes]] | date=November 7, 2011}}</ref>

In May 2013, Altera made available SDK for OpenCL, enabling software programmers to access the high-performance capabilities of programmable logic devices.<ref>{{Cite news |url=https://www.eetimes.com/altera-opens-the-fpga-world-to-software-programmers/ |title=Altera opens the FPGA world to software programmers |first=Clive |last=Maxfield |work=[[EE Times]] |date=May 6, 2013}}</ref>

Altera also support high-level synthesis using [[SYCL]] extensions to ANSI C/C++.
