Application software :
Application software Application software, also known as
applications or apps, is computer software designed to help the
user to perform singular or multiple related specific tasks.
Examples include Enterprise software, Accounting software,
Office suites, Graphics software and media players. Application
software is contrasted with system software and middleware,
which manage and integrate a computer's capabilities, but
typically do not directly apply them in the performance of tasks
that benefit the user. A simple, if imperfect analogy in the world
of hardware would be the relationship of an electric light bulb
(an application) to an electric power generation plant (a system).
The power plant merely generates electricity, not itself of any
real use until harnessed to an application like the electric light
that performs a service that benefits the user.
