主 题:Green software product sustainability dimension empirical study green measurements
摘 要:Software is a central component in the modern world and vastly affects the environment’s *** demand for energy and resource require-ments is rising when producing hardware and software *** study reveals that many studies focused on green hardware;however,limited efforts were made in the greenness of software *** software products are necessary to solve the issues and problems related to the long-term use of soft-ware,especially from a sustainability *** a proper mechanism for measuring the greenness of a particular software product executed in a specific environment,the mentioned benefits will not be ***,there are not enough works to address this problem,and the green status of software products is uncertain and *** paper aims to identify the green measurements based on sustainable dimensions in a software *** second objective is to reveal the relationships between the elements and measurements through empirical *** study is conducted in two ***first phase is the theoretical phase,where the main components,measurements and practices that influence the sustainability of a software product are identifi*** second phase is the empirical study that involved 103 respondents in Malaysia investigating current practices of green software in the industrial environment and further identifying the main sustainability dimensions and measurements and their impact on achiev-ing green software *** study has revealed seven green measurements of software product:Productivity,Usability,Cost Reduction,Employee Support,Energy Efficiency,Resource Efficiency and Tool *** relationships are statistically significant,with a significance level of less than 0.01(p=0.000).Thus,the hypothesised relationships were all *** contributions of this study revolve around the research perspectives of the measurements to attain a green software product.
