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

CHAPTER I 1. INTRODUCTION The continuous innovation in technology‚ no doubt that it has a great impact in the lives of many people. Because of a lot of advantages and benefits that technologies promised‚ that’s why they learn to adapt this kind of system. The computer age had been implemented‚ especially in the field of business. Many businesses company are using the computerized process as a medium of their transactions. The commonly process that we know in a company is the way they recorded

Computer software‚ be it the brain behind our VCR or the program created specifically to run a country’s missile defense system‚ are an absolutely integral part of helping to make our day-to-day lives that much less complicated. But when your blender comes screaming to life in your sleep‚ or your bank somehow “loses” your life savings and says “you only have 37 cents in that account”‚ who is to blame? According to liability laws that have been in question since the birth of what might be considered

reasonable project must have some requirements that define what that project is supposed to do. The requirements are the basic steps in implementing a project. A requirement is an objective that must be met. There are several types of requirements such as price‚ performance and reliability objectives. Requirements are instructions describing what functions the project is supposed to provide‚ what characteristics the project is supposed to have‚ and what goals the project is supposed to meet. The shortage

careers. The careers I have in mind are being a Foreign Service officer or being a software engineer. I know in my career paper I indicated a preference towards becoming a Foreign Service officer‚ particularly one involved in economic affairs‚ as it fits my major better. However‚ I’ve always held an interest in computer and software design and programming and my interests would also be served by becoming a software engineer. My goal is to find the career that suits me better than the other career

SOFTWARE TESTING SOFTWARE TESTING Testing is the process of executing a program with the intent of finding errors. TESTING PRINCIPLES All tests should be traceable to customer requirements. Tests should be planned long before testing begins. The Pareto principle applies to software testing. Stated simply‚ the Pareto principle implies that 80 percent of all errors uncovered during testing will likely be traceable to 20 percent of all program components. TESTING PRINCIPLES Testing should begin
