1. Promote public knowledge of software engineering.

2. Software engineers are those who contribute by direct participation or by teaching, to the analysis, specification, design, development, certification, maintenance and testing of software systems.

3. Improve their ability to create safe, reliable, and useful quality software at reasonable cost and within a reasonable time.

4. Disclose to appropriate persons or authorities any actual or potential danger to the user, the public, or the environment, that they reasonably believe to be associated with software or related documents.

5. Work to develop software and related documents that respect the privacy of those who will be affected by that software.

6. In particular, software engineers shall, as appropriate:Provide service in their areas of competence, being honest and forthright about any limitations of their experience and education.

7. Ensure that software engineers know the employer's policies and procedures for protecting passwords, files and information that is confidential to the employer or confidential to others.

8. Software engineers are those who contribute by direct participation or by teaching, to the analysis, specification, design, development, certification, maintenance and testing of software systems.

9. To ensure, as much as possible, that their efforts will be used for good, software engineers must commit themselves to making software engineering a beneficial and respected profession.

10. Moderate the interests of the software engineer, the employer, the client and the users with the public good.

1. Ensure that they are qualified for any project on which they work or propose to work by an appropriate combination of education and training, and experience.

2. Accept no outside work detrimental to the work they perform for their primary employer.

3. Ensure realistic quantitative estimates of cost, scheduling, personnel, quality and outcomes on any project on which they work or propose to work and provide an uncertainty assessment of these estimates.

4. Strive to fully understand the specifications for software on which they work.

5. Ensure an appropriate method is used for any project on which they work or propose to work.

6. Obey all laws governing their work, unless, in exceptional circumstances, such compliance is inconsistent with the public interest.

7. Ensure that specifications for software on which they work have been well documented, satisfy the users’

8. Ensure adequate documentation, including significant problems discovered and solutions adopted, for any project on which they work.

9. These Principles should influence software engineers to consider broadly who is affected by their work; to examine if they and their colleagues are treating other human beings with due respect; to consider how the public, if reasonably well informed, would view their decisions; to analyze how the least empowered will be affected by their decisions; and to consider whether their acts would be judged worthy of the ideal professional working as a software engineer.

10. In particular, software engineers shall, as appropriate:Accept full responsibility for their own work.

1. In particular, software engineers shall, as appropriate:Temper all technical judgments by the need to support and maintain human values.

2. Support, as members of a profession, other software engineers striving to follow this Code.

3. Attract potential software engineers only by full and accurate description of the conditions of employment.

4. Ensure that software engineers know the employer's policies and procedures for protecting passwords, files and information that is confidential to the employer or confidential to others.

5. To ensure, as much as possible, that their efforts will be used for good, software engineers must commit themselves to making software engineering a beneficial and respected profession.

6. Principle 2: CLIENT AND EMPLOYERSoftware engineers shall act in a manner that is in the best interests of their client and employer, consistent with the public interest.

7. Principle 7: COLLEAGUESSoftware engineers shall be fair to and supportive of their colleagues.

8. In particular, software engineers shall, as appropriate:Accept full responsibility for their own work.

9. However, even in this generality, the Code provides support for software engineers and managers of software engineers who need to take positive action in a specific case by documenting the ethical stance of the profession.

10. Because of their roles in developing software systems, software engineers have significant opportunities to do good or cause harm, to enable others to do good or cause harm, or to influence others to do good or cause harm.

1. In particular, software engineers shall, as appropriate:Encourage colleagues to adhere to this Code.

2. Express concerns to the people involved when significant violations of this Code are detected unless this is impossible, counter-productive, or dangerous.

3. The Code is not a simple ethical algorithm that generates ethical decisions.

4. In all these judgments concern for the health, safety and welfare of the public is primary; that is, the "Public Interest" is central to this Code.

5. Ensure that clients, employers, and supervisors know of the software engineer's commitment to this Code of ethics, and the subsequent ramifications of such commitment.

6. Not influence others to undertake any action that involves a breach of this Code.

7. The dynamic and demanding context of software engineering requires a code that is adaptable and relevant to new situations as they occur.

8. It is not intended that the individual parts of the Code be used in isolation to justify errors of omission or commission.

9. Provide for due process in hearing charges of violation of an employer's policy or of this Code.

10. Avoid associations with businesses and organizations which are in conflict with this code.

1. Identify, define and address ethical, economic, cultural, legal and environmental issues related to work projects.

2. Principle 8: SELFSoftware engineers shall participate in lifelong learning regarding the practice of their profession and shall promote an ethical approach to the practice of the profession.

3. However, even in this generality, the Code provides support for software engineers and managers of software engineers who need to take positive action in a specific case by documenting the ethical stance of the profession.

4. Ethical tensions can best be addressed by thoughtful consideration of fundamental principles, rather than blind reliance on detailed regulations.

5. The Code is not a simple ethical algorithm that generates ethical decisions.

6. The Principles identify the ethically responsible relationships in which individuals, groups, and organizations participate and the primary obligations within these relationships.

7. The Code helps to define those actions that are ethically improper to request of a software engineer or teams of software engineers.

8. The Code is not a simple ethical algorithm that generates ethical decisions.

9. Not punish anyone for expressing ethical concerns about a project.

10. Principle 5: MANAGEMENTSoftware engineering managers and leaders shall subscribe to and promote an ethical approach to the management of software development and maintenance .
