Contents
Requires system software
Application software cannot run by itself. It is dependent on system software to execute.
Examples
- Word processor
- Spreadsheet
- Computer game
- Drawing, painting, and illustrating system
- Library management system
Non-application software
The term application is used to distinguish such software from:
- System software, which manages and integrates a computer's capabilities but does not directly perform tasks that benefit the user
- Utility software, which is directly concerned with altering or managing the computer's operating environment
