If I have software SW, and I want to enhance its performance by adding a capability, say X, to it, what do I call this process?

Is it correct to say:

Realizing X in SW?

Or:

Building X in SW?

I feel that building and realization are not two suitable words for this reason.

    If the capability is a performance enhancement, it might be better to re-craft the sentence to describe that effect with a more intuitive verb: "Speeding up SW with X" but it is hard to say what would work best without knowing more about X.

  • Could the phrase improving SW with X work?

  • @mattacular X is a property that makes SW to behave autonomously

  • Can you give a concrete example of what "X" could be? If, for instance, X were "threading" than neither of your examples would work very well. In that case, "utilizing" may be a good option.

I'd say either "implementing X" or "adding feature X."

    These are not jargony, not sales-talkish, and not 50 cent word phrases when a dime'll do just as well.

I think adding/added will suite better in the situation.

For ex: Facebook has added video chat functionality with the help of ..

Visual studio has now added features for enhanced security ..
