Abstract
In the current world scenario, sustainable development has a magnificent role, especially in the two sizable fields of information and communication, viz., Green Technology and Green Computing. Green IT make ICT more sustainable and instigate solutions to set up and use hardware in an energy-efficient way. Green by IT focus on software-based solutions to make energy-efficient utilization of resource and to dimmish the negative impact on the environment. The energy-efficient software development model is the right way toward sustainability. Developing a software product is not only bound to writing its core code, but it also includes many phases from planning to maintenance. To erect an energy-efficient green software, need to make the whole process green. This paper proposes a technique to apply green concepts on software testing to efficiently gather energy consumption related information. For the same need a closer look at green software and green software engineering, and through this proposed work applied green principles to measure, analyze and optimize operations on software testing.
