1. In particular, software engineers shall continually endeavor to:Further their knowledge of developments in the analysis, specification, design, development, maintenance and testing of software and related documents, together with the management of the development process.

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

3. In particular, software engineers shall, as appropriate:Strive for high quality, acceptable cost and a reasonable schedule, ensuring significant tradeoffs are clear to and accepted by the employer and the client, and are available for consideration by the user and the public.

4. 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.

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

6. As this Code expresses the consensus of the profession on ethical issues, it is a means to educate both the public and aspiring professionals about the ethical obligations of all software engineers.

7. Principle 6: PROFESSIONSoftware engineers shall advance the integrity and reputation of the profession consistent with the public interest.

8. s humanity, in special care owed to people affected by the work of software engineers, and the unique elements of the practice of software engineering.

9. 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.

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

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

2. Recognize that violations of this Code are inconsistent with being a professional software engineer.

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

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

5. In accordance with that commitment, software engineers shall adhere to the following Code of Ethics and Professional Practice.

6. Not ask a software engineer to do anything inconsistent with this Code.

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

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

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. The Code contains eight Principles related to the behavior of and decisions made by professional software engineers, including practitioners, educators, managers, supervisors and policy makers, as well as trainees and students of the profession.

1. In particular, software engineers shall, as appropriate:Help develop an organizational environment favorable to acting ethically.

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

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

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

5. As this Code expresses the consensus of the profession on ethical issues, it is a means to educate both the public and aspiring professionals about the ethical obligations of all software engineers.

6. 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.

7. Work to follow professional standards, when available, that are most appropriate for the task at hand, departing from these only when ethically or technically justified.

8. These situations require the software engineer to use ethical judgment to act in a manner which is most consistent with the spirit of the Code of Ethics and Professional Practice, given the circumstances.

9. 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.
