5. Software Engineering Code of Ethics and Professional Practice (Full Version)PREAMBLEComputers have a central and growing role in commerce, industry, government, medicine, education, entertainment and society at large.

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. 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.

8. 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.

5. 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.

6. 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.

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. 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.

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

10. Improve their knowledge of relevant standards and the law governing the software and related documents on which they work.

1. 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.

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

3. 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.

4. 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.

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

6. 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.

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

8. Principle 6: PROFESSIONSoftware engineers shall advance the integrity and reputation of the profession consistent with the public interest.

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. 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.

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

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

3. 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.

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

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

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

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

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. 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.

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

1. 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. 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. 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. 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.

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

8. 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.
