    Bespoke software refers to custom software built for a specific customer rather than a wide audience. CASE tools are examples of Computer Assisted Software Engineering like compilers. Good software exhibits attributes like being maintainable, reliable, secure, efficient and usable. Building software to run on multiple platforms poses the heterogeneity challenge. An emergent property describes a system-level characteristic that arises from component interactions. A sociotechnical system involves people, software, and hardware. System testing for widely sold generic software is costly because the software must work across multiple platforms, be usable by different types of people, and function properly without additional configuration.

    1. Identify 4 of the following.


    a. Bespoke: custom built for a specific customer as opposed to for a wide audience
    b. CASE (give an example): Computer Assisted Software Engineering, e.g. a compiler
    c. 4 attributes of good software: maintainable, reliable, secure, efficient, usable,...
    d. The heterogeneity challenge: Building software to run on multiple platforms
    e. Emergent property: one of the system as a whole, not just of one of its parts
    f.

    Sociotechnical system: a system involving people, software, and hardware

    2. Give three reasons why system testing costs are particularly high for generic software products which are sold on a
    wide market.
    It has to work on multiple platforms
    It will be used by different types of people
    It is expected to work "out of the box"
    It may need to be used by people with disabilities
    It may be used in different countries
    There may be legal implications of a malfunction
