Engineering Good Software – Quality, Values, Standards, and Education

Determining whether software is good is a complex process that takes into account various criteria. Technical aspects, such as functionality, reliability, efficiency, and flexibility, are important considerations. However, these are not the only factors to consider. Legal issues and ethical concerns also play a role in evaluating software quality. As discussions around the ethical implications of software continue to grow, it is increasingly important to consider whether the software is morally good. For example, while a face recognition software may be technically advanced, its production, deployment, and usage may raise moral questions.
