Computer software can be divided into two main categories: application software and system software. Application Software: Application Software includes programs that do real work for user. Example: Payroll systems‚ Inventory Control‚ Manage student database‚ Word Processor‚ Spreadsheet and Database Management System etc. Application software consists of the programs for performing tasks particular to the machine’s utilization. Examples of application software include spreadsheets‚ database systems

Software Crisis Software crisis was a term used in the early days of computing science. The term was used to describe the impact of rapid increases in computer power and the complexity of the problems which could be tackled. In essence‚ it refers to the difficulty of writing correct‚ understandable‚ and verifiable computer programs. The roots of the software crisis are complexity‚ expectations‚ and change. The major cause of the software crisis is that the machines have become several orders

Custom software (also known as bespoke software) is software that is specially developed for some specific organization or other user. As such‚ it can be contrasted with the use of software packages developed for the mass market‚ such as commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) software‚ or existing free software. Custom software can be developed by an in-house software development group‚ or be commissioned from a software house or independent software developer. Since custom software is developed for

Life cycles in Software and Knowledge Engineering : a comparative review. Michael Wilson‚ David Duce Informatics Dept.‚ Rutherford Appleton Laboratory Dan Simpson Dept. of Computer Science‚ Brighton Polytechnic. ABSTRACT Developments in software engineering have led to models of the system life cycle incorporating the use of prototyping and formal methods of program verification. These are becoming supported by integrated project support environments and permit the planning and monitoring

WHAT IS A SOFTWARE A set of instructions that cause a computer to perform one or more tasks. The set of instructions is often called a program or‚ if the set is particularly large and complex‚ a system. Computers cannot do any useful work without instructions from software; thus a combination of software and hardware (the computer) is necessary to do any computerized work. A program must tell the computer each of a set of minuscule tasks to perform‚ in a framework of logic‚ such that the computer

What Is Computer Software? When you think of a computer imagine a machine made of two parts. The first part is the computer hardware‚ the physical parts of the computer that you can actually touch. Some examples of hardware are disks‚ monitors‚ boards‚ chips‚ etc. Hardware does all of the physical work of the computer‚ from memory storage to display. The second part‚ what we call “computer software”‚ acts as the brain of the computer‚ telling the hardware what to do and when and how to do it
