Season of KDE 2020

[Gopi Manohar Tatiraju]

Hello,
I want to contribute to KDE. I am well versed with programming but I am new
to open source contributions. I have some doubts regarding the process.

   - How to test the changes we made in the code. I mean, lets consider the
   example of ROCS( https://kde.org/applications/education/org.kde.rocs). I
   made some changes in the code, now how to test if those changes are
   actually applied or not. When we write code we see output on output windows
   but here how to see those changes?
   - Are there any specific IDEs for these purpose.

Thank you in advance for your help.
