Product:
Product is a company that releases Hardware, Middleware,
Operating system, Languages, Tools etc are becomes the
product. They develop the products for global clients i.e.
there are no specific clients for them. Here the
requirements are gathered from market and analyze that with
some experts and start to develop the product. After
developing the products they try to market it as a solution.
Here the end users are more than one. Product development is
never ending process and customization is possible.
Project:
Project is finding solution to a particular problem to a
particular client. It depends on the product. By using the
products like Hardware, Middleware, Operating system,
Languages and Tools only we will develop a project. Here the
requirements are gathered from the client and analyze with
that client and start to develop the project. Here the end
user is one.

Answer / rajesh kushwaha
It should be Software Project and Software Product.
Software Project is done for a specific clients of your
company. For this some of the testing may be done at
client's side. For example, Acceptance Testing..
Software Product is not done for a single client and it is
released as a product of the company.
===
Software Product Development is being proactive and
Software Application Development is being reactive.
In both cases you will be addressing a specific need for
sure.
For an application there is already a client / need that
has been given to you and you react to it - under the
constraints and environment that is assigned. For product
development you understand that developing such a product
will meet a specific need - you typically don't restrict to
hardware/software constraints or environment. The need you
are addressing with a product predominantly is a latent
need and hence is less customized unlike an application
where Customization takes the driver's seat.
