6. Software as Research: quality the non-functional characteristics
The subjective quality of a software system is largely based on its non-functional characteristics.
This reflects practical user experience – if the software’s functionality is not what is expected, then users will often just work around this and find other ways to do what they want to do.
However, if the software is unreliable or too slow, then it is practically impossible for them to achieve their goals.
Has the software been properly tested?
Is the software sufficiently dependable to be put into use?
Is the performance of the software acceptable for normal use?
Is the software usable?
Is the software well-structured and understandable?
Have programming and documentation standards been followed in the development process?

11. Git GUI vs Shell GUI Shell Graphical User Interface Looks nice
with buttons, boxes, and other components
Shell
Runs from command line
Looks like a lot of text, and it can be easy to get lost or confused for beginners
Essentially, a GUI is like typing in Microsoft Word, while a shell is like typing in Latex. You cannot control the layout like latex could but is easier to use.
Both are useful, so it is good to know how to use both
