6. 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.

7. Cooperate in efforts to address matters of grave public concern caused by software, its installation, maintenance, support or documentation.

8. 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.

9. Promote public knowledge of software engineering.

10. 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.

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

2. Credit fully the work of others and refrain from taking undue credit.

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

5. 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.

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

7. 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.

8. Assign work only after taking into account appropriate contributions of education and experience tempered with a desire to further that education and experience.

9. The ultimate effect of the work should be to the public good.

10. Review the work of others in an objective, candid, and properly-documented way.

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. 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.

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

5. 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.

6. 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.

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

8. PRINCIPLESPrinciple 1: PUBLICSoftware engineers shall act consistently with the public interest.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

8. 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.

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

10. The Code prescribes these as obligations of anyone claiming to be or aspiring to be a software engineer.

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

2. The Code provides an ethical foundation to which individuals within teams and the team as a whole can appeal.

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

4. 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.

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

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

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

8. Promote no interest adverse to their employer or client, unless a higher ethical concern is being compromised; in that case, inform the employer or another appropriate authority of the ethical concern.
