2. SOFTWARE b.) Communication Protocols: Software protocols that define rules for data exchange over a network. Examples: TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol), VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol), SIP (Session Initiation Protocol).
2. SOFTWARE c.) Telephony Software: Applications for managing voice communication over networks. Examples: Asterisk, FreeSWITCH, Skype for Business.
DEFINITION OF SOFTWARE •Software is a set of instructions, data or programs used to operate computers and execute specific tasks. It is the opposite of hardware, which describes the physical aspects of a computer.
DEFINITION OF SOFTWARE •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
TYPES OF SOFTWARE
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.
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.
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 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. INSTALL ABILITY •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.
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.
