Abstract
Green and sustainability issues are being considered as the alternative effort to ensure the long-time usage and durable of a software. The overall target for green software is to produce sustainable software products with minimal negative impact on the environment. In general, sustainability in software is associated with the ability to operate in a longer time and viable in their environments. Issues regarding sustainability are usually based on economy, social, and environmental view. In order to achieve and maintain sustainability in software, software process should undergo and comply with green. Previous studies emphasis on green hardware in respect to energy consumption, power consumption, waste reduction and disposal. However, it seems lack of studies on green software even though software has impact indirectly to the environment and to the software itself. This paper presents the empirical study conducted in Malaysia to investigate the sustainable practices in software process toward achieving green process and environment. One hundred and two (102) participants were involved in this survey and most of them were software engineers and software developers. The results reveal that the sustainability practices are important and relevant for green software process.
