A software package is a special method for the distribution and installation of software on computer systems.
The most common type of software package seen by the average computer user is that found sold in stores. An example might be a popular word processor. A user would purchase the software, then follow the given instructions to install the software on their home machine.
A very common type of software package is that found on many Unix-like operating systems. These are often a single file containing many more files to be installed, along with rules describing what other software needs to be installed for the package to function properly.
For example, on a Macintosh computer, a package usually means "software." It's specifically a directory, presented as a single file, that contains all the information the Mac OS XInstaller application needs to install your software.
That includes the software itself, as well as files that are used only during the installation process.
(2) Multiple software programs that work together (or performs similar functions) and is bundled and sold together as a softwarepackage.
The first two days (phase one) are concerned with developing a framework for package selection and identifying the requirements of a particular case study problem.
The participants are then presented with a potential packaged solution and are asked to evaluate this using the framework developed in the course.
This SoftwarePackage Selection training course prepares participants to sit a one-hour, open book, examination leading to the certificate in Evaluating and Procuring SoftwarePackages offered by the Information Systems Examinations Board (ISEB).
