Empirical Study on Green and Sustainable Software Engineering

Green software engineering is a main software engineering process in the 21st century. In the previous era, software engineers concerned mainly with development of hardware or software without giving more importance to sustainability. There is no effort towards the technical, economical, environmental, social and individual aspects of the sustainability of the environment. In developed countries researches are mainly focused on green and sustainable software engineering. But in developing countries like India and china there is no more research on this, so more research works are to be carried on Green software engineering. The developing countries are developing more software applications and ICT products alone for the developed countries, but Green sustainable software engineering process is a major issue that is to be solved to make efficient software models. The developed software models should focus mainly on environment and on earth which are common for all the countries. This paper analyses about the Green and the sustainability of software engineering approach in the life cycle models for software development process. This work surveys the existing software models and their impact on environments.
