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
