Know About the Development of Application Software

Application software is a set of instructions given by the user to the computer to perform and accomplish the assigned tasks successfully. For this purpose it requires systems software, utilities, operating system and hardware.

When the user requests for the task, application software performs it. The application software is much closer to the user than the computer because it processes the tasks that are ordered by user. It is different from operating system because an operating system performs for the computer whereas application software performs tasks based on user's perspective.

Microsoft Suite is an example of application software because it consists of many other applications like word, excel, outlook, power point and access. Even though the functionality is same, the applications differ.

Application software is more understandable by the user rather than operating system because it interacts with the user and performs user related tasks.

Application software is developed in various fields that enable to accomplish the task. It is used in research and development, multimedia for sound and video composition, enterprise software, simulation software and content access software.
