Chap1 The Nature of Software

1. What is Software?

Software is a set of items or objects that form a “configuration” that includes

• programs (instructions) that when executed provide desired features, function, and performance;
• data structure that enable the programs to adequately manipulate information
• documentation that describes the operation and use of the programs

Traditional Programing
• Software=Algorithms + data structure

OO Programing
• Software=Objects + Messages

Component Oriented Programming
• Software=Components+Architecture

2. The nature of software

• Developed/engineered
• Deteriorates 退化

• Custom built 定制的
