Goal oriented measurement for software sustainable evaluation metric focused on environmental dimension

Sustainability is a complex concept that investigated in interdisciplinary dimension which are environment, economic, and social.Software sustainability has moved towards new paradigms of research and it is claimed as still immature due to lack of integration on these three dimensions. Currently, there are studies on software sustainability evaluation that defined the evaluation criteria.However, most of the studies are lack of integrating the three dimensions of software sustainabiltiy.In addition, the evaluation goals are also not clearly defined. Therefore, the objective of this study is to define the evaluation goals for each proposed characteristic and sub-characteristic with focused to environmental dimension.Goal Question Metric (GQM) is used as a method to identify the correct goals in this study. The adaptation of goal oriented measurement can contribute to define the precisely goals by determining the purposes, perspectives, point of views in the following context of environment with respect to achieve software sustainability
