Software portability

Not to be confused with application portability.
This article is about portability in itself. For the work required to make software portable, see porting. For other uses, see portability.
Software portability can be exemplified with multiple devices running the same video game.

Software portability is a design objective for source code to be easily made to run on different platforms. An aid to portability is the generalized abstraction between the application logic and system interfaces. When software with the same functionality is produced for several computing platforms, portability is the key issue for development cost reduction.
