Abstract
The present need for software organizations to seamlessly carryout software development results to significant high cost of electricity usage and emission of CO2 which contributes to climate changes. Therefore there is need for software practitioners to adopt sustainable practices in software development process. Sustainable practices can be adopted when software practitioners utilizes software which can bring about the lessening of electricity usage and decrease of CO2 emission. Software practitioners' adoption of sustainable practices is no doubt beneficial to humanity. Therefore sustainable practice adoption can be an attempt for software practitioners to tackle the current climatic problem and also increase economic gains of software organizations. At the moment existing sustainable approaches mainly focus on achieving sustainability when software practitioners develop software. Thus this paper contributes to sustainability research by presenting a model that offers an understanding of how software practitioners can adopt sustainable practices when they utilize software applications in software development process. Findings from this paper show how Green practices can be diffused by software practitioners when they utilize software application in software organizations.
