SELF • Software engineers shall participate in lifelong learning regarding the practice of their profession and shall promote an ethical approach to the practice of the profession.

  15. Individual Ethics

  16. Case Studies

  17. Case Studies: Cloning • In the software development field, using someone else's code is called Cloning. • Cloning and other code re-use practices are important for the production of new software.
