a) software is developed or engineered, it is not manufactured in the classical sense.It contains sets of instruction.

b)the branch of science and technology concerned with the design, building, and use of engines, machines, and structures.

c)the establishment and use of sound engineering principles in order to obtain economically software that is reliable and works efficiently on real machines.

2)

a) System Software: a collection of programs written to service other programs (e.g compiler,editor,file management utilities)

b)Application Software : stand-alone program that solve a specific business need (e.g POS, inventory control, cinema ticketing,Maybank2u)

c) Engineering/Scientific Software: system simulation from astronomy biology to automated manufacturing

d) Embedded Software: resides within a product/system and perform limited functions(e.g fuel control, braking system, dashboard display,keypad control for microwave oven)

e) Product-Line Software :

a) software is developed or engineered, it is not manufactured in classical sense . it contains sets of instruction, or data stuructures

b) the branch of science and technology concerned with the design, building, and use of engines, machines, and structures.

c) the establishment and use of sound engineering principles in order to obtain economically software that is reliable and works efficiently on real machines

Application Software : stand-alone program that solve a specific business need (e.g Maybank2u)

Engineering /Scientific Software : CAD, system simulation from astronomy,biology to automated manufacturing

Embedded Software: resides within a product / system and perform limited functions (Auto Brake system)

Product Line Software : spreadsheets

WebApps : Web Application like online movie booking website

AI Software: e.g speech recognition

b) Using the Generic Process Model

1. Software crisis is a term used in the early days of computing science for the difficulty of writing useful and efficient computer programs in the required time. The software crisis was due to the rapid increases in computer power and the complexity of the problems that could be tackled.

The Incremental Model - combines linear and parallel process flows

The V-Model - The V-model represents a software development process (also applicable to hardware development) which may be considered an extension of the waterfall model. Instead of moving down in a linear way, the process steps are bent upwards after the coding phase, to form the typical V shape.
