Types of Application software
*provide an example for each type of software
(Off-the-shelf)
General purpose application software is a type of application that can be used for a variety of tasks.It is not limited to one particular function.
Special purpose application software is a type of software created to execute one specific task.
Bespoke application software is tailor made for a specific user and purpose
For example
(Off-the-shelf)
For example a word processor could be classed as general purpose software as it would allow a user to write a novel, create a restaurant menu or even make a poster.
For example a camera application on your phone will only allow you to take and share pictures. Another example would be a chess game, it would only allow you to play chess.
For example a factory may require software to run a robot to make cars, however, it is the only factory making that car in the world, so the software required would have to be specially built for the task.
Other examples might include software for the military, missile/UAV operations, software for hospitals and medical equipment, software being written inside banks and other financial institutions.
Например, текстовый процессор можно классифицировать как программное обеспечение общего назначения, так как он позволит пользователю писать роман, создавать меню ресторана или даже создавать плакат.
Например, приложение камеры на вашем телефоне позволит вам снимать и обмениваться фотографиями. Другим примером будет шахматная игра, которая позволит вам играть в шахматы.
Например, на заводе может потребоваться программное обеспечение для запуска робота для производства автомобилей, однако это единственный завод, который делает этот автомобиль в мире, поэтому требуемое программное обеспечение должно быть специально построено для этой задачи.
Другие примеры могут включать программное обеспечение для военных, ракетных / БПЛА, программное обеспечение для больниц и медицинского оборудования, программное обеспечение, написанное внутри банков и других финансовых учреждений.
