| dc.description | Software is a fundamental component in the modern technological world and vastly affects the environment's sustainability since the demand for energy and resource requirements are rising when producing hardware and software units. To date, literature investigations reveal that numerous studies have focused on green hardware, however, limited efforts and assurances were made in the greenness of ICT software products. Green software and their products are important as they can possibly solve the problems associated with the long-term use of software; especially from the perspective of sustainability. Without a mechanism for measuring the greenability of a particular software product executed in a certain environment, the mentioned benefits will not be attained or guaranteed. Current models related to green software products do not address the mentioned problem. Therefore, the objectives of this research are: (1) to identify the main measurements of sustainable dimensions in green software product, (2) to develop a green software model based on the main sustainability measurements to achieve a green software product and (3) to evaluate and apply the green software model based on the main sustainability measurements. The research is implemented in four main phases. The first phase is the theoretical study where the main dimensions, measurements and practices that influence the sustainability of a software product operating in a certain environment are identified. The second phase is the empirical study which involved 103 software practitioners in Malaysia. Their current practices of green software in the real industrial environment are analysed to identify the main sustainability dimensions and measurements as well as their impact on achieving green software products. The third phase is the development of an enhanced Green Software Model which considers green measurements based on the literature and empirical findings. The proposed Green Software Model consists of two components: 1) The Green Measurements, and 2) The Assessment Process which targeted to achieve the green level of software product. The green measurements are identified as Productivity, Usability, Cost Reduction, Employee Support and Tool Support. The Analytic Network Process (ANP) is employed for ranking and allocating weight values of the dimensions. The green levels are defined as Fully Achieved (Level IV), Largely Achieved (Level III), Partially Achieved (Level II) and Not Achieved (Level I). The proposed Green Software Model was validated through expert reviews and followed by validation of the model’s effectiveness and practicality through case studies. The results of the case studies demonstrated the practicality and effectiveness of the Green Software Model to be applied in real industrial environment. The contributions of this study revolve around the research perspectives of the Green Software Model to attain a green software product. Moreover, its practical contribution is by providing a mechanism to measure the greenability of software product, which will later help stakeholders and software practitioners to ensure the greenability of their organisation’s environment specifically in the aspect of software products.,Ph.D. | - |
