Green measurement metrics towards a sustainable software: A systematic literature review

Abstract

With the advancement in computing hardware's the complexity and energy consumption of software has increased largely. There are various primary studies which uses different software measurement metrics in green and sustainable software development. In this paper we systematically reviewed and analyzed different green measurement metrics in sustainable software. Our objective is to find the recent studies in green metrics and find the different state-of-the-art measures that is taking place in green software development and engineering. We reviewed 14 studies with different aspects of green metrics and sustainable software. This review summarizes different green metrics and methods proposed in the recent years. � 2016 IEEE.
