An empirical study on predictors of green sustainable software practices in Malaysian electronic industries

Currently, sustainability is a pertinent issue that should be considered in the software development process; hence it is imperative to recognize how environmental-friendly practices can be applied in the electronic industries that develop and deploy software products. However, sustainability is not...

However, sustainability is not fully considered when electronic industries implement modern software systems. Additionally, software developers in electronic industries believe that software is environmental friendly mainly because it is virtual.

The survey data aimed to verify each of the identified predictors that influence sustainable software practice applications.
