Study Notes
Ethical Behaviour in Software Engineering
- Ethical behaviour involves following a set of principles that are morally correct, beyond just upholding the law.
- Engineers should respect the confidentiality of their employers or clients, even without a formal agreement.
- Engineers should not misrepresent their level of competence and should not accept work that is beyond their capabilities.
- Engineers should be aware of and respect local laws governing intellectual property, such as patents and copyright.
- Software engineers should not use their technical skills to misuse other people's computers.
ACM/IEEE Code of Ethics
- The ACM/IEEE Code of Ethics is a code of ethical practice produced by professional societies in the US.
- Members of these organizations sign up to the code when they join.
- The code consists of eight principles, including:
- Acting consistently with the public interest.
- Acting in the best interests of clients and employers.
- Ensuring products meet the highest professional standards.
- Maintaining integrity and independence in professional judgment.
- Promoting an ethical approach to management.
- Advancing the integrity and reputation of the profession.
- Being fair to and supportive of colleagues.
- Participating in lifelong learning and promoting an ethical approach to the profession.
iLearn Architecture
- Configuration services are used to adapt the environment with a specific set of application services.
- These services define how services are shared between students, teachers, and parents.
iLearn Service Integration
- Integrated services offer an API and can be accessed by other services through that API.
- Independent services are accessed through a browser interface and operate independently of other services.
Key Points
- Software engineering is an engineering discipline concerned with all aspects of software production.
- Essential software product attributes are maintainability, dependability, security, efficiency, and acceptability.
- The high-level activities of specification, development, validation, and evolution are part of all software processes.
- The fundamental notions of software engineering are universally applicable to all types of system development.
