6. Profession

6.08. Take responsibility for detecting, correcting and reporting errors in software and associated documents on which they work.

According to 6.08 code of ethics, software engineers or developers should get the responsibility to detect, correct and report the errors when occur in the implementation phase and documenting and reporting those things.

As an example, when we do system testing to assure the quality of the system, we clearly mentioned those errors, how detected and detecting process. In the testing phase, we found so many errors in a database and content errors. We have done testing phase using manual testing. In the manual testing, we can document the error handling by creating test scenarios, procedures and test cases. We got the responsibility of all those errors and detected. We should consider about this not only in developing phase, after delivering the system we have the responsibility for error detection.
