"Round trip" as an adjective-noun pair.

 

"Round-trip" as a compound modifier.

 

"Roundtrip" or "round-trip" as a verb.

 

Pretty much the way English has been written by professional writers and
editors for the past century or so.

 

What does "a software environment" have to do with anything?
