Discuss computer program vs software product?
Program Vs Soft ProductProgram Software products· Programs are developed by individuals for their personal use.· They are therefore, small in size and have limited functionality· In case of a program, the programmer himself is the sole user· In case of a program, a single developer is involved.· For a program, the user interface may not be very important, because the programmer is the sole user.· In case of a program, very little documentation is expected.· A program can be developed according to the programmer's individual style of development.· Software products have multiple users.· Software products are extremely large.· In case of a software product, most users are not involved with the development.· In case of a software product, a large number of developers are involved.· On the other hand, for a software product, user interface must be carefully designed and implemented because developers of that product and users of that product are totally different.· Software product must be well documented.· A software product must be developed using the accepted software engineering principles.Rasel ,L-3 S-i
