DAY 3
SUB-TOPIC 2: TYPES OF SOFTWARE

1. Explicitation
Definition of Software
Software is a set of instructions, data or programs used to operate computers and execute specific Use slide decks to present
tasks. It is the opposite of hardware, which describes the physical aspects of a computer. Software is a explicitation
generic term used to refer to applications, scripts and programs that run on a device. It can be thought of
as the variable part of a computer, while hardware is the invariable part.

The two main categories of software are application software and system software. An application
is software that fulfills a specific need or performs tasks. System software is designed to run a computer's
hardware and provides a platform for applications to run on top of.
1. Application software. The most common type of software, application software is a computer
software package that performs a specific function for a user, or in some cases, for another
application. An application can be self-contained, or it can be a group of programs that run the
application for the user. Examples of modern applications include office suites, graphics software,
databases and database management programs, web browsers, word processors, software
development tools, image editors and communication platforms.
2. System software. These software programs are designed to run a computer's application programs
and hardware. System software coordinates the activities and functions of the hardware and
software. In addition, it controls the operations of the computer hardware and provides an
environment or platform for all the other types of software to work in. The OS is the best example
of system software; it manages all the other computer programs. Other examples of system software
include the firmware, computer language translators and system utilities.

7
 3. Driver software. Also known as device drivers, this software
is often considered a type of system software. Device drivers
control the devices and peripherals connected to a computer,
enabling them to perform their specific tasks. Every device that
is connected to a computer needs at least one device driver to
function. Examples include software that comes with any
nonstandard hardware, including special game controllers, as
well as the software that enables standard hardware, such as
USB storage devices, keyboards, headphones and printers.
4. Middleware. The term middleware describes software that
mediates between application and system software or between
two different kinds of application software. For example,
middleware enables Microsoft Windows to talk to Excel and
Word. It is also used to send a remote work request from an
application in a computer that has one kind of OS, to an
application in a computer with a different OS. It also enables
newer applications to work with legacy ones.
5. Programming software. Computer programmers use programming software to write code.
Programming software and programming tools enable developers to develop, write, test and debug
other software programs. Examples of programming software include assemblers, compilers,
debuggers and interpreters.

How does software work?

All software provides the directions
and data computers need to work and
meet users' needs. However, the two
different types -- application software
and system software -- work in
distinctly different ways.

The dimensions of software quality

include the following characteristics:
1. Accessibility. The degree to
which a diverse group of
people, including individuals https://www.techtarget.com/searchapparchitecture/definition/software#:~:text=An%20application%20i

 who require adaptive technologies such as voice recognition and screen magnifiers, can
comfortably use the software.
2. Compatibility. The suitability of the software for use in a variety of environments, such as with
different OSes, devices and browsers.
3. Efficiency. The ability of the software to perform well without wasting energy, resources, effort,
time or money.
4. Functionality. Software's ability to carry out its specified functions.
5. Installability. The ability of the software to be installed in a specified environment.
6. Localization. The various languages, time zones and other such features a software can function
in.
7. Maintainability. How easily the software can be modified to add and improve features, fix bugs,
etc.
8. Performance. How fast the software performs under a specific load.
9. Portability. The ability of the software to be easily transferred from one location to another.
10. Reliability. The software's ability to perform a required function under specific conditions for a
defined period of time without any errors. https://www.techtarget.c
11. Scalability. The measure of the software's ability to increase or decrease performance in response om/searchapparchitectur
