    Study Notes

    software product: 1. generic 2. bespoke (custom develop for a single customer according to their specification

    New software can be created by developing new programs, configuring generic software systems or reusing existing software..

    Software is Computer programs and associated documentation such as requirements, design models and user manuals.

    Software engineering is an engineering discipline that is concerned with all aspects of software production

    A set of activities whose goal is the development or evolution of software

    CASE is Software systems that are intended to provide automated support for software process activities
