Energy Efficient Software Development Life Cycle Model

Abstract

We think that computers are non-polluting and consume a little energy. But at this time we are wrong, because according to a survey $ 250 billion per year spent on powering computers worldwide only about 50% of that power is spent computing – the rest is wasted idling. [1] In this thesis we are proposing our own software development life cycle modal which is composed by six stages. These stages are Green requirement analysis, Green design, Green implementation, Green testing, Green maintenance and green analysis. The last stage green analysis is very important because all the life cycle stages are similarly connected to the green analysis phase. The reason behind it When one stage is completed, then green analysis phase check that, this stage follow the green computing rules or not.
