摘要：Software process and development are the fundamental activities in software engineering. Increasing software usage either develops in-house or outsourcing requires improving the software process accordingly to minimise the adverse effects on the environment. The resources and power consumption controlled by hardware affected the software to move the process that causes high emission of power and energy. Thus, most of the existing work on software development is aimed at the efficiency of hardware operation through CPU, memory, and processor. Although sustainability is still initial in software engineering, the green software process can be achieved through sustainable development that concerns the preservation of the environment. However, there is still a lack of study and effort in the software process that emphasises sustainability perspectives and software waste elimination. Therefore, this study proposes the green factors for the software process that consider the sustainability elements and waste reduction during development. The green factors are the benchmark to measure a sustainable and green software process. Besides, this paper also presents the qualitative interview design and pilot study. The pilot study analysis has demonstrated the reliability of the interview protocol. Therefore, the actual interview and data analysis are currently in progress.
