Software engineering ethics is a large field. In some ways it began as an unrealistic attempt to define bugs as unethical. [citation needed] More recently it has been defined as the application of both computer science and engineering philosophy, principles, and practices to the design and development of software systems.
It has its own Code of Ethics and another set of ethical principles that were also approved by the IEEE as the standard for teaching and practicing software engineering. These codes are Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct and the Software Engineering Code of Ethics and Professional Practice, respectively, and some of their guidelines are ...
The Contributor Covenant is a code of conduct for contributors to free/open source software projects, created by Coraline Ada Ehmke.Its stated purpose is to reduce harassment of minority, LGBT and otherwise underrepresented open source software developers.
Also in 2014, she created the Contributor Covenant, a code of conduct used in over 40,000 open source projects including all such projects from Google, Microsoft, and Apple. [ 10 ] [ 11 ] [ 12 ] In 2016, she received a Ruby Hero award in recognition of her work on the Contributor Covenant.
The IEEE's Guide to the Software Engineering Body of Knowledge – 2004 Version, or SWEBOK, defines the field and describes the knowledge the IEEE expects a practicing software engineer to have. The most current version is SWEBOK v4. [6] The IEEE also promulgates a "Software Engineering Code of Ethics". [47]
A similar effort to define a body of knowledge for software engineering is the "Computing Curriculum Software Engineering (CCSE)," officially named Software Engineering 2004 (SE2004). The curriculum largely overlaps with SWEBOK 2004 since the latter has been used as one of its sources, although it is more directed towards academia.
Software craftsmanship is an approach to software development that emphasizes the coding skills of the software developers. It is a response by software developers to the perceived ills of the mainstream software industry , including the prioritization of financial concerns over developer accountability.
Engineering ethics is the field of system of moral principles that apply to the practice of engineering. The field examines and sets the obligations by engineers to society , to their clients, and to the profession.
