# Design ideas

Here is a list of design ideas that software can be engineered for. These, all have a cost, and some have conflict with each other. Prioritizing this list, and implementing some of these up to a certain point, is the goal of engineering

* accessibility
  * Software that is accessible, allows users to be able to consume the software by taking into account any impairment
    * ie make fonts larger, better contrast, voice instead of text
  * For Backend
* affordability
  * The cost of software, its creations/maintainace/use
* compatibility
  * The software works in different environments or programs
    * ie windows or unix, ie7 or firefox, hardware requirements
* customizability
  * How easy it is for the user to change to suit its needs
* dependability
* effectiveness
* fault tolerance
* integrity
* mobility
* portability
* provability
* reproducibility
* safety
* securability
* sustainability
* accountability
