 ==Classification==
 To better define software, it is often classified into smaller groups.  The follow are the common classifications used:
-*'''System software''' - runs the various necessary functions of a computer system<ref name="ecomputernotes.com">http://ecomputernotes.com/software-engineering/characteristics-and-classification-of-software</ref>
