Sustainable testing

As the integration of sustainability into software development evolves, sustainable testing stands out as a critical component. This practice ensures that software not only meets functional and performance requirements but also adheres to principles of energy efficiency and environmental stewardship throughout its life cycle. The objective is to create applications that are effective while minimizing their ecological impact.

To realize these objectives, incorporating energy metrics into testing scenarios and strategies becomes essential. This approach serves multiple critical functions:

  • Energy efficiency: By integrating energy metrics, organizations can monitor software behavior under various conditions and usage patterns. This data is vital for optimizing software so that it consumes less energy, significantly reducing operational costs and boosting system sustainability.
  • Resource allocation: Energy metrics provide insights into the resource demands...
