Abstract

As sustainability becomes a fundamental concern in software development, it is important to understand how industry is addressing it. This paper discusses the results of a survey performed in industry aiming at identifying their current needs and practices to handle sustainability in agile software development. The survey includes an initial section to gather participants’ information, followed by a section inquiring about the impact of sustainability on their working environment, and which methods and tools are used. The enquired population is a small subset of the IT professionals in Portugal. The main findings include lack of methods, tools, knowledge and domain experts to support elicitation and specification of sustainability requirements. Still, the participants recognise that one of the main reasons to consider sustainability is for the improvement of product quality and for creating a good reputation.
