Research On Ethical Issues In Software Development

With the rapid economic and social development,people has entered a wide application ofcomputer science as the main symbol of the new information age. The rapid development ofcomputer science and technology and the media, constantly changing people’s original way oflife and social existence.The information age people’s social and moral life is bound to bereflected in changes in the way of people’s lifestyles and social existence and development. In thetraditional sense, morality is a tool to regulate the relationship between people, it is also can besaid, in the way of those who do not directly the existence of interpersonal activities, moralityout of the question. However, the rapid development of the computer science and technology,this traditional sense of the direct interpersonal moral has gradually showed itsnarrow-mindedness, therefore, we need a more than the current broad, beyond the specificinterests, more universal humanity, which is the transcendence of a moral tradition.With the extensive application of computer technology in people’s lives, development andapplication of computer software gradually become the core of information societytechnology.But the software products are not created to meet the demand of people’s material life.It is designed and developed in order to better meet people deal with the dramatic increase ofinformation which with the continued progress and development of the productive forces.Software products based on computer machine language sequence for the external form, butresearch by its very nature it is the condensation of human wisdom and knowledge, and to acertain extent on the plasticity of logic. Thus, software products, as human wisdom and the spiritof the existence of a new and popular way, permeated with ethical and moral concepts of thesoftware developers. Therefore, the combination of the basic principles and norms of the morallife in information age, and the moral life and moral issues related to common, combined withthe formation rule of the ethics of software developers, in-depth to explore and attempt toestablish a software developer should follow the ethical principles for the information agepeople’s social and moral order and the individual moral qualities culture has an importantsignificance.The first chapter is ethics for software development, mainly with the relevant theoreticalresearch results, software development concepts for a theoretical clearly defined, and try toanalyze from an ethical point of view of software developers in the software developmentprocess should have a sense of responsibility and should follow the basic principles of morality.The second chapter, the ethical issues in software development and the reasons. With the actualdevelopment status of China’s software development, made a number of software-related project and design, code writing, software product testing and delivery of the use of ethical issues existin many fields, and analysis the causes of these ethical issues.The third chapter, the ethicalproblems in the software development strategy. Analyze and summarize the ethical issues existin the field of software development in China.Proposed to improve the current status quo of thefield of software development.
