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.
The debate on how to balance regulation and compliance with innovation in software engineering is ongoing. While regulation and compliance can help ensure good software engineering, they can also hinder innovation. Finding the right balance is crucial. Additionally, good engineering practices not only require specific technical methods and development organisations, but also certain skills and attitudes that foster innovation. As we consider what competencies are needed, we must also think about how these considerations may impact our competitiveness in the market.

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
