SOFTWARE ATTRIBUTES

To ensure that software is high-quality, several important attributes must be considered. These
attributes determine how well the software will perform, how easy it will be to update, and how
effectively it meets user needs. Below are the key attributes of software engineering explained in
simple terms:

1. Maintainability – Software should be easy to modify, fix, or improve whenever needed. As


technology and user requirements change, software must be updated accordingly. Good
maintainability ensures that developers can add new features or fix bugs without causing
other problems in the system.

2. Reliability – A reliable software system is one that works correctly and consistently. It should
not crash, freeze, or produce incorrect results, especially when used under normal
conditions. Reliable software is essential for businesses, as failures can lead to financial
losses and security risks.

3. Efficiency – Efficiency refers to how well the software uses resources like memory, processing
power, and battery. Efficient software runs smoothly without consuming too much power or
slowing down the system. If a program is inefficient, it can cause delays and reduce
performance.

4. Reusability – Reusability means that parts of the software can be used again in other
applications. For example, if a company develops a login system for one app, they should be
able to reuse it for other apps instead of building it from scratch. This saves time, effort, and
cost.

5. Flexibility – Software should be adaptable to changes. Sometimes, user requirements or


market conditions change, and software must be updated accordingly. Flexible software
allows developers to make adjustments without needing a complete redesign.

6. Portability – Portability means the software can run on different devices and operating
systems without much modification. For example, a web application should work on
Windows, Mac, and Linux computers, as well as on mobile devices.

7. Correctness – Correct software meets all the requirements specified during development. It
should perform the intended tasks accurately and provide the expected results without
errors.

8. Testability – Testability refers to how easily a software program can be tested for errors.
Good testability ensures that bugs can be detected and fixed quickly, making the software
more reliable.

9. Effectiveness – Effectiveness means that the software does what it is supposed to do in the
best possible way. It should help users complete their tasks efficiently without unnecessary
steps or complications.

10. Modularity – A modular software system is divided into smaller, independent parts (called
modules). Each module handles a specific task and can be developed or updated separately.
This makes the software easier to understand, test, and maintain.
