Principe 1: PUBLIC - 1.03

1.03. Approve software only if they have a well-founded belief that it is safe, meets specifications, passes appropriate tests, and does not diminish quality of life, diminish privacy or harm the environment. The ultimate effect of the work should be to the public good.

This code specifies that the website we are intended to design should ensure that it would not harm or affect the general public in immoral ways. Hence before accepting the request to design the website our group analyzed the requirements and the effects of the final outcome in order to guarantee that it adhere to the above requirements.

The requirement of the client was to design an informative website where it will not have much interactive functionalities with the users. Hence it is ensured that none of the users of the site would be facing any safety issues with regard to any matter. At the same time, this would make sure that the site would not diminish privacy of any party involved since user interaction is much less in this case.

In the point of meeting specifications, the group discussed and finalized all the specifications in terms of the user requirements as well as legal, technical specifications and also the adherence to the code of ethics.

Since the intended system is a website it was clear enough that the site would pass the appropriate tests which would mainly be load testing and primarily testing for errors and bugs which are relatively smaller issues.

The main purpose of the site is to promote sustainable telecommunication and acknowledge the customers about ethical consumption while encouraging all the stakeholders to follow the righteous practices. Hence it is ensured that the product will not diminish quality of life but instead would enhance it.

Environment responsible trading and manufacturing is one of the main considerations of the company. The client’s expectation was that the site would cover each and every aspect of green business initiative, ethical use of resources and environment protection. Therefore it guarantees the site nor would the content in the site contribute in any aspect to harm the environment.

Finally it was decided that the ultimate effect of the work would be for public good and that the site adhere to the code 1.03 of the Code of Ethics.
