Conclusion
▪ Today the quality of software produced by
software engineers is critical to society

▪ Lives depend on the safety and reliability of


many software system include MDS ( Other
like control of air traffic , nuclear power
station )

▪ In addition to technical capability , the quality


of software products depend on the Ethics
and Professional conduct of the Engineers
that developer Develop them.
