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

5. 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.

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

7. In particular, those managing or leading software engineers shall, as appropriate:Ensure good management for any project on which they work, including effective procedures for promotion of quality and reduction of risk.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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. 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. 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. 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. 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.

1. 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

9. 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.

10. 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.

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

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

3. 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.

4. 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.

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

7. 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.
