Session: Sustainable IT and Quality Engineering
Do you know that the IT industry contributes 4% to global CO2 emissions? It is estimated that less than one in five companies have a clearly defined sustainable IT strategy. Using sustainable IT techniques leads to environmentally responsible computing by adopting best practices in the field of information technology.
Today's business demands delivering business value, quality at speed. Our business value now includes sustainability. Therefore, sustainability is a new form of quality engineering.
IT delivery teams must take sustainability into account along with more traditional quality characteristics today. Sustainability of quality engineering entails minimizing the unfavorable environmental impacts of business processes, the components of IT that support them, and the infrastructure that hosts them. As part of its approach to software and systems design, development, implementation, testing, deployment, operation, maintenance, and retirement, it emphasizes the importance of environmental durability and energy efficiency.
