Point 06

Principle 6: PROFESSION

6.08. Take responsibility for detecting, correcting, and reporting errors in software and associated documents on which they work.

As a professional software engineers you should following this code of conduct is very important. Software engineers always should try to improve the quality of the profession. It is the responsibility of the software engineer to identify correct and report the errors in the software so that the users of that software will be benefited from it. This becomes an impotent point when we do software re-engineering or re-design the existing software. This code of conduct not only concern about the software but also concern about the relevant documentation.

As software developers we re-design the “ReputeU” website and did several modification and updates. When we develop this web site we have detected some places which are not functioning correctly and we have identified the errors in the source code. We have documented those errors and had a discussion with our client before we correct them. There for we practiced this code of conduct through the development phase of the “ReputeU” project.

Rather than doing new modification and add new function without checking the existing code we though it as our responsibility to provide error free or bug free software product to our client and it will definitely lead to the end user satisfaction.
