6. Applications software

A software application carries out tasks that the user is interested in doing such as writing a letter, creating graphs, sending an email or downloading a webpage.

Software applications work through the operating system to gain access to the hardware.

Application software can be classified under three main categories:

  • General purpose software
  • Specialist software
  • Tailor made or bespoke software
