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 Use slide decks to present
execute specific tasks. It is the opposite of hardware, which describes the physical aspects of explicitation
a computer. Software is a 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

6
 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.
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 https://www.techtarget.co
as the software that enables standard hardware, such as USB storage devices, m/searchapparchitecture/
keyboards, headphones and printers. definition/software#:~:text
4. Middleware. The term middleware describes software that mediates between application =An%20application%20is%2
and system software or between two different kinds of application software. For example, 0software%20that,to%20run%2
middleware enables Microsoft Windows to talk to Excel and Word. It is also used to send 0on%20top%20of
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 Show a video on how to

All software provides the directions t=60s
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 Image sourced from TechTarget
which a diverse group of
people, including individuals
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 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.
11. Scalability. The measure of the software's ability to increase or decrease performance
in response to changes in its processing demands.
12. Security. The software's ability to protect against unauthorized access, invasion of
privacy, theft, data loss, malicious software, etc.
13. Testability. How easy it is to test the software.
14. Usability. How easy it is to use the software.

Step 1: Download the installation file for the application.
Step 2: Double-click the downloaded file to begin the installation process.
Step 3: Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.
Step 4: Once installed, you can find the application in the Start Menu and run it.
2. Application Software
Example: Creating a presentation in Microsoft PowerPoint.

Step 2: Add new slides and input content such as text, images, and videos.
Step 3: Apply transitions and animations to enhance the presentation.
Step 4: Save the presentation and practice your slideshow.
3. Utility Software
Example: Running a disk cleanup on a computer.
Step 1: Open the Disk Cleanup utility from the Start Menu.
Step 2: Select the drive you want to clean up and click “OK”.
Step 3: Check the boxes for the types of files you want to delete and click “OK”.
