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

2. These obligations are founded in the software engineer’

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

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

6. Be fair and avoid deception in all statements, particularly public ones, concerning software or related documents, methods and tools.

7. Extend software engineering knowledge by appropriate participation in professional organizations, meetings and publications.

8. 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.

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. 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.

1. Be accurate in stating the characteristics of software on which they work, avoiding not only false claims but also claims that might reasonably be supposed to be speculative, vacuous, deceptive, misleading, or doubtful.

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

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

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

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. 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.

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

8. Ensure proper and achievable goals and objectives for any project on which they work or propose.

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

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

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

2. 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.

3. 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.

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

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

7. 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.

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

2. 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.

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. 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.

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

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

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

9. Improve their knowledge of this Code, its interpretation, and its application to their work.

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

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

2. 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.

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

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. 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.

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

8. 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.

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

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