Problem Statement
Discuss the ethical, governance and quality challenges introduced by emerging software engineering trends (such as AI-agents, low-code platforms or quantum software) and how you would address them in a project.
Explanation
Emerging trends bring new challenges: AI-agents may generate code with bias, security contradictions or lack transparency; low-code/no-code may bypass oversight and governance; quantum software may introduce new failure modes and unknowns. /n/n To address these you might: implement governance frameworks (AI governance, data ethics), maintain traceability of generated artefacts, integrate security and ethics reviews into SDLC, ensure training of teams in new technologies, adopt risk registers for emerging tech risks, keep modular-upgrade paths and maintainability, include sustainability metrics. Demonstrating how you would proactively manage these shows deep maturity in software engineering.
