Q2) What are the reasons behind having a code of ethics in software engineering?

Answer)

Software Engineering is a profession where professionals go through the learning of software engineering to learn about the software engineering techniques, languages, coding, testing, maintaining applications and much more about computer and software science. Thus, with aspects to degree and certification programs, professional associations there are some ethics that every software professional should adhere to. Software engineers are expected to be educated, honest, true and thus they are expected to exhibit the highest standards of honesty and integrity and thus being at the highest principles of ethical conduct.

Ethics can be a way to look at relationships between the individual, his employer, clients, and the society in general. Thus ethics is very important for the entire stream of connection, as something unethical will affect all, and also the doer as well. Software engineers should deal with all the entities with honesty, impartiality, fairness, and equity and must have a role in the work towards public and social health and protecting it and also safety and welfare of all. Mistakes and unethical behaviors of the software engineers also cost money and lives and thus it is very important to have a code of ethics in software engineering to software engineers.
