Principle 6: PROFESSION

Software engineers shall advance the integrity and reputation of the profession consistent with the public interest. In particular, software engineers shall, as appropriate:


6.02. Promote public knowledge of software engineering.

6.07. Be accurate in stating the characteristics of software on which they work, avoiding not only false claims but also claims that might reasonably be supposed to be speculative, vacuous, deceptive, misleading, or doubtful.


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

Us as the developers of the venom detector are responsible for delivering a product which satisfies the specification along with the required functionality and qualities. Because it’s obvious that, which saves lives can destroy lives just by a simple mistake. We must prevent error propagations and must ensure the accuracy and performance of the device. Since now we have the prototype and we have proved that we are protecting the responsibility of protecting human lives by not releasing this as a final product.
