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

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

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

4. Principle 3: PRODUCTSoftware engineers shall ensure that their products and related modifications meet the highest professional standards possible.

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

7. 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.

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

9. 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.

10. 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.

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

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

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

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

7. 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.
