This special issue of IEEE Software focuses on diversity and inclusion in software development, presenting research results and best practices for making the field equitable for all. It is well documented that the industry does not provide evenhanded participation conditions. Research has shown that implicit gender biases significantly impact hiring decisions,¹ women disengage faster than men,² Palestinian tech entrepreneurs do not have access to Internet-based distribution and payment platforms,³ software developers with a visual impairment lack tools to navigate code editors,^4,5 and women are sometimes less likely to get their code accepted.⁶ Tools, processes, products, and education are not inclusive. Dimensions such as geography, gender, socioeconomic politics, age, ethnicity, and disability shape who can participate in creating technology.

软件开发中的多样性危机

IEEE软件的这一期特刊着眼于软件开发中的多样性和包容性，介绍了使该领域对所有人公平的研究结果和最佳实践。有据可查的是，该行业没有提供公平的参与条件。研究表明，隐性的性别偏见严重影响了聘用决策；^1位女性的离职速度比男性快；^2位巴勒斯坦科技企业家无法使用基于Internet的发行和付款平台；^3位视力障碍的软件开发人员缺乏使用代码编辑器的工具，^4,5和女性有时不太可能接受其守则。⁶工具，流程，产品和培训不包括在内。诸如地理，性别，社会经济政治，年龄，种族和残障等各个维度决定了谁可以参与创造技术。
