Morris is a software engineer for a manufacturer. He wrote a program for the accounting department. During the testing phase, he noticed that the software would occasionally return an erroneous result, but he decided not to make modifications to the program because there were concerns about the project going over budget.

Answer :

anthougo

Answer:

The principle of the Software Engineering Code of Ethics that Morris has violated is:

the Product principle.

Explanation:

The Product principle requires that Morris' program (product and related modifications) should meet the highest professional standards.  Staying within budget and rationalizing an error as minor are not requirements of the Software Engineering Code of Ethics that Morris subscribed to.

Other requirements of the code include acting in the best interest of the public, client, and employer; maintaining high product standards; integrity and independence in professional judgment; using an ethical approach; maintaining professional integrity and independence; being fair and supportive to colleagues; and ensuring participation in lifelong learning.
