What are Software Products?

Software products have multiple users and therefore should have a good user interface, proper operating procedures, and good documentation support.

1. Since a Software product has a large no of users, it must be properly designed, carefully implemented and properly tested. 
2. Generally software products are too large, and they cannot be developed by a single programmer. Therefore, Software products are developed by a group of software engineers.
3. Software Engineers are concerned with developing a software product, whereas programmers are concerned with writing programs.
4. Development of the software product requires a well-defined and systematic methodology, without which a software development team would not be able to produce an appropriate software product.

Many people equate the term software with computer programs.
