Abstract

Considering the powerful position assumed in creating software that changes human lives and society; it is compelling that in addition to technical standards, ethical standards, especially those captured in codes of ethics and practice be adhered to by software engineers. Despite efforts by professional bodies on ethical standards awareness, it is alleged that software engineers are not able to uphold ethical standards in software development projects. This research study probed lecturers concerned with the teaching of software development courses to determine their perceived levels of ethical standards and behavior. The findings show that the importance of ethical standards is recognized. The respondents reported high levels of ethical standards of their own work, colleagues’ work and their students’ work. Although in general the respondents reported high ethical standards, elements of lesser perceived ethical standards on students indicate the need for improvements. The findings of the study are important to educators and industry to recognize the significance of levels of ethics standards and the role educators have in terms of inculcating such ethical standards early in the making of future software engineers.

Abstract

The use of evidence-based practice to inform ethical software development is important for all stakeholders to achieve successful software and address the ethical needs of those affected by it. Although research exists on various mechanisms for supporting ethical software development, their integration into a framework that enables expansive ethics awareness and adherence is lacking. This study fills this gap by conducting a qualitative metasynthesis of studies that implemented and evaluated mechanisms to support ethics in software development. Meta-ethnography methodology was followed and supported by the PRISMA reporting guidelines to achieve the study's objective.   Most of the mechanisms identified in the four selected studies are oriented toward supporting the integration of ethics into software development in the artificial intelligence domain, rather than the broader software engineering ethics spectrum. The study contributes a conceptual framework for ethics-aware software engineering practice. The proposed framework requires empirical validation. In addition, Further studies are required to explore other resources reporting on other transformative technologies to expand the framework for improving the software engineering practice.
