* Basics of Software Engineering Software is a set of instructions used to acquire inputs and ti manipu late them to produce the desired output in terms of functions and the performance as determined by the user of the software. Software includes: 1. Instructions (computer programs) that when executed provide desired features, function,and performance; 2. Data structures that enable the programs to adequately manipulate information, and 3. Descriptive information (documents) in both hard copy and virtual forms that describes the operation and use of the programs . Characteristics of software 1.
