Computer software, or just software is a general term used to describe the role that computer programs, procedures and documentation play in a computer system.

The term includes:

  • Application software such as word processors which perform productive tasks for users.
  • Firmware which is software programmed resident to electrically programmable memory devices on board mainboards or other types of integrated hardware carriers.
  • Middleware which controls and co-ordinates distributed systems.
  • System software such as operating systems, which interface with hardware to provide the necessary services for application software.
  • Software testing is a domain independent of development and programming. It consists of various methods to test and declare a software product fit before it can be launched for use by either an individual or a group. Many tests on functionality, performance and appearance are conducted by modern testers with various tools such as QTP, Load runner and Black box testing, to edit a checklist of requirements against the developed code. ISTQB is a certification that is in demand for engineers who want to pursue a career in testing.
  • Testware which is an umbrella term or container term for all utilities and application software that serve in combination for testing a software package but not necessarily may optionally contribute to operational purposes. As such, testware is not a standing configuration but merely a working environment for application software or subsets thereof.

Software includes things such as websites, programs or video games, that are coded by programming languages like C or C++.

"Software" is sometimes used in a broader context to mean anything which is not hardware but which is used with hardware, such as film, tapes and records.

Is there any software that can turn my computer into a regular radio receiver?
Q. I am an avid radio listener and would like to know if there is any software that can make my computer a radio that can receive shortwave, AM and or FM stations from my area. Or has this even been invented yet? I would prefer if this software was inexpensive or free. Thanks for the help!

A. Well, you are going to need some hardware to accomplish what you want to do. In the past there have been some manufacturers of AM-FM PC cards that fit into a slot in your PC and come bundled with the software to run it. You may be able to search the Internet and find one for sale, I was unable to find any when I looked although I know they are out there. I have never heard of one made for SW although I have been out of the SW game for a while. Another solution is that many radio stations simulcast their program over the Internet. Contact the stations and ask them if they have a web site and if they broadcast their program over the Internet. If you are really an avid listener then why not buy a good AM-FM radio? General Electric makes one… [cont.]

What software can I use to manage my home inventory for reorders?
Q. I have too many products in my home to order every year to know whether or not I'm short of staplers, soap, or something else.

  • A solid working knowledge of productivity software and other IT tools has become a basic foundation for success in virtually any career. Beyond that, however, I don't think you can overemphasise the importance of having a good background in maths and science.
