How Do Quality Requirements Contribute to Software Sustainability?

The concept of sustainable development has become an important objective of policy makers in the software industry. The most used definition of sustainability refers to dimensions of economic sustainability to ensure that software services can create economic value; technical sustainability that their technical assets actually enable the software services to cope with changes and evolution; environmental sustainability to avoid that software services harm the environment they operate in; and social sustain-ability to ensure software services provide fair exchange of information between par-ties [2]. According to Lago et al [1], “sustainability quality requirements” could in-clude both traditional quality requirements and sustainabilityrelated requirements. In order to investigate which relevant requirements are related to sustainability concerns of service-based software systems and how they contribute to social and technical sustainability, we propose an online survey plan to be conducted during the REFSQ conference.
