Reducing Software Failures: addressing the ethical risks of the software development lifecycle
نویسنده
چکیده
Software Engineering Ethics Research Institute, East Tennessee State University, USA ABSTRACT A narrow approach to risk analysis and understanding the scope of a software project has contributed to significant software failures. A process is presented which expands the concept of software risk to include social, professional, and ethical risks that lead to software failure. Using an expanded risk analysis will enlarge the project scope considered by software developers. This process also is incorporated into a software development life cycle. A tool to develop Software Development Impact Statements is also discussed.

Software development managers balance lifecycle costs during development and maintenance with potential profits from sales. Releasing a software system early may gain an initial boost in profits by being first to market, but profit and customer confidence could easily disappear if numerous field failures are found due to a lack of poor quality. Conversely, delaying product release to remove min...
متن کاملQuestioning the Role of Requirements Engineering in the Causes of Safety-Critical Software Failures
Many software failures stem from inadequate requirements engineering. This view has been supported both by detailed accident investigations and by a number of empirical studies; however, such investigations can be misleading. It is often difficult to distinguish between failures in requirements engineering and problems elsewhere in the software development lifecycle. Further pitfalls arise from...
متن کاملCybersecurity: From Ad Hoc Patching to Lifecycle of Software Engineering
The role of information assurance (IA) is critical for cyber-based technologies and products, and the risk of cyberterrorism to IA is omnipresent. In particular, to achieve IA, young and dynamic developing technologies and products should be using a defined lifecycle that leverages and builds (throughout the developmental lifecycle) on a rich and proven body of knowledge and practices in risk a...
