Computer software, or just software is a general term used to describe the role that computer programs, procedures and documentation play in a computer system.

The term includes:

  • Application software, such as word processors which perform productive tasks for users.
  • Firmware, which is software programmed resident to electrically programmable memory devices on board mainboards or other types of integrated hardware carriers.
  • Middleware, which controls and co-ordinates distributed systems.
  • System software such as operating systems, which interface with hardware to provide the necessary services for application software.
  • Software testing is a domain dependent of development and programming. Software testing consists of various methods to test and declare a software product fit before it can be launched for use by either an individual or a group.
  • Testware, which is an umbrella term or container term for all utilities and application software that serve in combination for testing a software package but not necessarily may optionally contribute to operational purposes. As such, testware is not a standing configuration but merely a working environment for application software or subsets thereof.

Software includes things such as websites, programs or video games, that are coded by programming languages like C or C++.

"Software" is sometimes used in a broader context to mean anything which is not hardware but which is used with hardware, such as film, tapes and records.

What is the best software for network performance monitoring?
Q. What software is considered the best for total network performance monitoring. I am in search of a software that will monitor our switches, routers, firewalls, and the overall performance of our network. This is a network running Win 03 as the OS, and has around 60-80 servers. Any suggestions? What are the pros and cons of such software?

A. Lots of commercial products will do this. But they tend to be expensive to buy and expensive to scale because of licensing. Look into an open source solution. Try the link below:
