Discuss any two software characteristics.
Software is not manufactured: The life of software is from method exploration to the retirement of the software product. It is one time development effort and continuous maintenance effort in order to keep it operational. Though, making 1000 copies of software is not an issue and it does not involve any cost. In case of hardware product, each product costs us due to raw material and other processing expenses.
Software is flexible: We all feel that software is flexible. A program can be developed to do almost anything. Sometimes this characteristic may be the best and may help us to accommodate any part of change.
