6A Charan Charan is a programmer for a small software development company. This company is still establishing its market share and is quite aggressive in setting software release dates.  Charan is one of a small team responsible for programming and testing the next release of their accounting package software. There are several programs which Charan has written and they have been tested successfully by a colleague. Charan is now testing three programs written by a colleague and has found minor bugs in each of them.  Their author is fixing the bugs and then Charan will retest. She expects this to take a further three weeks. Before all these bugs are resolved, his supervisor Collin informs Charan that management wishes to release the software to the public so as to meet the previously predicted finish date. To achieve this Charan, as tester, will need to sign that tests are completed but she knows this is not true. Discuss briefly the ethical dilemma that Charan faces.   What professional ethical dilemmas are Charan and Collin dealing with here?  (e.g.  Should we allow or sanction Charan's behaviour?  Is there a public interest question raised by this scenario?  What actions do everyone involved need to take to ensure that this kind of situation does not occur again?)  ACS Assignment Cover Sheet Subject Name: Professional Environments (Module 1 – Assignment 1) Assignment Name/Number: Assignment 1 – Professionalism, Ethics and Governance Date of Submission: Case Study Name/No. Participant Name: ACS Member Number: Declaration: ☐ Check this box I declare that the assignment is based on my own work and that all material previously written or published in any source by any other person has been duly acknowledged in the assignment.
