Tukey in 1957 ; colloquially, the term is often used to mean application Softwrae . In computerscience and Software engineering, computersoftware is all information processed by computer system, programs and data. Computer Sotfware is so called in contrast to computerhardware, which is the physical substrate which stores and executes (or "runs") the Softwqre .

All other subclasses belong to these two classes. System Skftware helps run the computer hardware and computer system. It includes operatingsystems, device drivers, programming tools, servers, windowing systems, utilities and more. Application Softeare allows a user to accomplishone or more specific tasks. Typical applications include office suites, business Softwae , educationalsoftware, databases and computer games. Most of application Skftware has GUIs.

2) " Specifications" -- As it applies to Software Specifications In engineering and manufacturing, the term specification has the following meanings: Technical requirement An essential technical requirement for items, materials, or services, including the procedures to be used to determine whetherthe requirement has been met. Specificarions may also include requirements for preservation, packaging, packing, and marking. Procurement An official document intended primarily for supporting procurement, whichdocument clearly and accurately describes the essential technical requirements for items, materials, or services, including theprocedures by which it will be determined that the requirements have been met. An example of a Federal specification is FIPS-PUB 159, Detail Specification for 62.5-μm Core Diameter /125-μm Cladding Diameter Class IaMultimode Optical Fibers.
