Practice Standards Committee (PSC) Seeks Comments On Software Development Guideline
A subcommittee of APEGGA's Practice Standards Committee has prepared a near-final draft of a new guideline for software development. The guideline reviews the professional responsibilities of Professional Members of APEGGA to ensure that public interest is protected, by:
-
recognizing professional and ethical responsibilities with software development and use, especially safety and security considerations;
-
accepting professional responsibilities in product delivery (i.e., final review and stamping);
-
delineating responsibilities for multi-disciplinary projects (i.e., hardware and software interfaces such as piping and instrumentation diagrams); and
-
recognizing professional responsibilities of Members in the different software development roles and during the various stages of software development.
