your posts be sure to cite (https://gmcga.libguides.com/citationmanagement/APA7th) them
properly. Lastly, review how to paraphrase and quote resources before you

Ethics
Consider the issue of
testing software as a part of the design process. The types of testing include
a variety of processes that include the initial processes of detecting syntax
errors and desk checking for logic errors. The next steps are to complete unit
testing within the program or module to find execution errors, then integration
testing that tests the program along with any programs that depend on the
program to make sure they work properly together, and the final step is system
testing to make sure the program works as expected within the system. The
testing process is complex and should include developers, IT staff, and most
importantly the operators of the system.
Discuss the practice
of testing software and the importance of testing when it relates to software
used in the medical field for patient procedures and treatments. Discuss your
viewpoint on software errors and the risks of these errors that could
negatively impact the health of patients. Consider the ethical issues
associated with negative outcomes due to software errors. Review the Ethical
Issues section regarding the Therac-25: Anatomy of a Disaster at the end of
Chapter 18 to gain some real-world perspective.
