Towards Understanding Software Engineering Ethical Frameworks Supporting Professional Bodies Ethical Principle

Abstract

As the basic software engineering structures are built on business backgrounds, the roots of software engineering ethics stern from the normative business framework used by managers in large organizations. But these days, software engineering ethics is being taught as a course within most higher education institutions; but the question is at what stage or level of experience should a training software engineer be taught about ethics? Even after the software engineer begins work in the industry, who is he/she responsible to? There are various software engineering associations and bodies in various parts of the world. We might be tempted to think there should be one body responsible for regulating software engineering professionals in the profession today.
