Tarkvarakogu

Tarkvarakogu, often translated as software collection or software suite, refers to a group of distinct software applications bundled together and sold or distributed as a single unit. These applications are typically related in function or purpose, offering users a comprehensive set of tools for a particular task or set of tasks. The concept is widespread across various computing domains, from personal productivity to professional development.

A common example is an office suite, which might include a word processor, spreadsheet program, presentation software, and a database manager. Similarly, graphic design suites bundle tools for image editing, vector illustration, and page layout. Game collections or bundles are also a form of tarkvarakogu, offering multiple video games at a reduced price compared to purchasing them individually. The advantages of using a tarkvarakogu include cost savings, ensured compatibility between applications, and a unified user experience. Users also benefit from having all necessary tools readily available from a single source. The term is less frequently used for open-source software collections, though the underlying principle of bundled applications remains.
