WHAT IS
SOFTWARE?
Operating System (OS) The category of system software
that performs a variety of

critical basic tasks, such as handling device input and


output, maintaining file

structures, and allocating memory.

Utility Software The category of system software that


includes programs to perform

specific tasks that help manage, tune, and protect the


computer hardware and software.

software as a service (SaaS) A type of commercially


available software that is owned,

hosted, and managed by a vendor, and accessed by


customers remotely, usually via the

Internet.
HOW SOFTWARE IS CREATED?

It is created by teams of programmers


working with business analysts, end
users, and other stakeholders who
envision what the software is intended
to do. Creating something like
Salesforce.com takes intensive
collaboration among people with very
different areas of expertise.

OPERATING SYSTEM
Functions Performed by the Operating System

The programs that make up the OS perform a variety of tasks,


including the

following:

1. Control common computer hardware functions such as Getting


input from

the keyboard or any input device, retrieve data from hard disks,
store data

on disks, and Display information on a monitor or printer.

2. Provide a user interface and manage input/output management.

3. Provide a degree of hardware independence (the computer


program can run on any computer regardless of the hardware)
