ANS
Affects
nearly
every
aspect
of
our
lives
and
has
become
pervasive
in
our
commerce,
our
culture,
and
our
everyday
activities.
As
a
product,
it
delivers
the
computing
potential
embodied
by
computer
hardware
or
by
a
network
of
computers
that
are
accessible
by
local
hardware.
It
is
an
information
transformer—producing,
managing,
acquiring,
modifying,
displaying,
or
transmitting
information.
As
the
vehicle
used
to
deliver
the
product,
it
acts
as
the
basis
for
the
control
of
the
computer
(operating
systems),
the
communication
of
information
(networks),
and
the
creation
and
control
of
other
programs
(software
tools
and
environments).
definition

software

ANS
Instructions
(computer
programs)
that
when
executed
provide
desired
features,
function,
and
performance.
Data
structures
that
enable
the
programs
to
adequately
manipulate
information.
Descriptive
information
in
both
hard
copy
and
virtual
forms
that
describes
the
operation

software
vs
hardware
-
ANS
Software
has
one
fundamental
characteristic
that
makes
it
considerably
different
from
hardware:
software
doesn't
"wear
out."
When
a
hardware
component
wears
out,
it
is
replaced
by
a
spare
part.
There
are
no
software
spare
parts.
Every
software
failure
indicates
an
error
in
design
or
in
the
process
through
which
design
was
translated
into
machine
executable
code. Therefore,
the
software
maintenance
tasks
that
accommodate
requests
for
change
involve
considerably
more
complexity
than
hardware
maintenance.
hardware
curve

ANS
The
"bathtub
curve"
indicates
that
hardware
exhibits
relatively
high
failure
rates
early
in
its
life
(these
failures
are
often
attributable
to
design
or
manufacturing
defects);
defects
are
corrected
and
the
failure
rate
drops
to
a
steady-state
level
for
some
period
of
time.
As
time
passes,
however ,
the
failure
rate
rises
again
as
hardware
components
suffer
from
the
cumulative
effects
of
dust,
vibration,
abuse,
temperature
extremes,
and
many
other
environmental
maladies.
software
curve
-
ANS
Software
is
not
susceptible
to
environmental
maladies.
In
theory ,
therefore,
the
failure
rate
curve
for
software
should
take
the
form
of
the
"idealized
curve."
Undiscovered
defects
will
cause
high
failure
rates
early
in
the
life
of
a
program.
However ,
these
are
corrected
and
the
curve
flattens.
Software
doesn't
wear
out,
but
it
does
deteriorate!
As
changes
are
made,
it
is
likely
that
errors
will
be
introduced,
causing
the
failure
rate
curve
to
spike.
Before
the
curve
can
return
to
the
original
steady-state
failure
rate,
another
change
is
requested,
causing
the
curve
to
spike
again.
Slowly ,
the
minimum
failure
rate
level
begins
to
rise—the
software
deteriorates
due
to
change.
