Editing Ada Programming Support Environment

{{redirect|APSE|other uses|Apse (disambiguation)}}
'''Ada Programming Support Environment''' or '''APSE''', was a specification for a programming environment to support [[software development]] in the [[Ada (programming language)|Ada programming language]]. This represented the second stage of the [[United States|U.S.]] military Ada project; once the language was implemented, it was felt necessary to specify and implement a standard set of tools, hence the APSE. CAIS-A, Common APSE Interface Set A, was defined in MIL STD-1838A.

CAIS defines a set of Ada APIs to enable portability of development tools across operating systems.<ref name=":0">{{Cite journal|last=Oberndorf|first=P.A.|date=June 1988|title=The Common Ada Programming Support Environment (APSE) Interface Set (CAIS)|journal=IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering|language=en-US|volume=14|issue=6|pages=742–748|doi=10.1109/32.6154|issn=0098-5589|url=https://zenodo.org/record/1261671}}</ref> As of 1988, CAIS implementations were developed for [[Unix]], [[OpenVMS|VMS]] and IBM [[MVS]].<ref name=":0" />
