INTRODUCTION
There are many denitions of software. The denition preferred by the author is “A generic term for computer programs, which includes systems programs that operate the computer itself, and applications programs that control the particular task at hand.” Software is a set of program instructions that make the computer do some task, such as word processing, manage databases, control plants, etc. It is not only the codes that a programming language generate but it also includes requirements, specications, designs, program listings, procedures rules, measurements, and data. It also includes tools used to create, test, optimize, and implement the software.
