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

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. 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.

4. 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.

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. Consider issues of physical disabilities, allocation of resources, economic disadvantage and other factors that can diminish access to the benefits of software.

7. 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.

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

9. 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.

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

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

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

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

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

6. Keep private any confidential information gained in their professional work, where such confidentiality is consistent with the public interest and consistent with the law.

7. 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.

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. 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. 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.

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

7. 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.

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.

10. 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.

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

2. In all these judgments concern for the health, safety and welfare of the public is primary; that is, the "Public Interest" is central to this Code.

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

4. 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.

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

6. The Code is not simply for adjudicating the nature of questionable acts; it also has an important educational function.

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

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

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

1. 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.

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

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

4. 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.
