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

2. 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.

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

4. Not unfairly intervene in the career of any colleague; however, concern for the employer, the client or public interest may compel software engineers, in good faith, to question the competence of a colleague.

5. Identify, document, and report significant issues of social concern, of which they are aware, in software or related documents, to the employer or the client.

6. 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.

7. 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.

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

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

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. Take responsibility for detecting, correcting, and reporting errors in software and associated documents on which they work.

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

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

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

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. Improve their understanding of the software and related documents on which they work and of the environment in which they will be used.

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

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

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

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

3. Ensure that software engineers are informed of standards before being held to them.

4. 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.

5. 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.

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

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. 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.

9. 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.

10. 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.

1. Report significant violations of this Code to appropriate authorities when it is clear that consultation with people involved in these significant violations is impossible, counter-productive or dangerous.

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

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

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

7. 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.

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

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

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

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. 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.

3. Be careful to use only accurate data derived by ethical and lawful means, and use it only in ways properly authorized.

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

5. 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.

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

7. 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.

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

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