Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

22. The Definition of Green ICT
Green ICT is the study and practice of
designing, manufacturing, using and
disposing of computers, servers and
associated subsystems-such as monitors,
printers, storage devices and networking
and communications systems efficiently and
effectively, with minimal or no impact on
the environment.

25. ICT and Environment
Computer technology use accounts for
2% of anthropogenic CO2
Roughly equivalent to aviation industry
IT energy usage will double next 4 years
However, the other 98% of global
carbon emissions is crying out for
solutions…
… and ICT is an important one.

26. Computer Energy Use
For every 12 consumers who keep power
settings enabled on their monitors and PCs,
CO2 emissions equivalent to removing one
average automobile from the road will be
avoided.
27. Computer Energy Use
desktop PC with a 17-inch LCD
monitor requires about 145
watts—110 watts for the
computer and 35 watts for the
monitor.
If left on 24x7 for one year,
this same computer will consume
1,270 kilowatt hours of
electricity—that’s enough to
release 1,715 pounds of carbon
dioxide into the atmosphere and
the equivalent of driving 1,886
miles in the average car!
28. How much energy does ICT use?
UK -example
ICT uses a great deal of
energy and it is rising fast.
ICT equipment accounts for
10% of the UK’s electricity
consumption.
Non-domestic energy
consumption from ICT
equipment rose by 70% from
2000 – 2006 and is forecast to
grow a further 40% by 2020.
29. How much energy does ICT use?
UK -example
30% of the overall energy consumed
by PCs is wasted by being left on
when not in use.
1,000 PCs running 24/7 cost around
£70,000 in electricity over a year.
A third of employees in the UK don’t
switch off their PCs when they leave
the office at the end of the day,
costing the UK £123 million a year in
electricity.
If all UK businesses shut down their
computers when not in use, it would
contribute 10% of the Government’s
Climate Change Levy target and 40%
of the energy efficiency targets set
by the Carbon Trust
30. Did You Know?
More than six million PCs
were left on over Christmas
2006, consuming nearly 40
million kWh of electricity –
enough to cook 30 million
Turkeys.
Together with the printers
and other hardware this
would have produced
19,000 tones of CO2, at a
cost of around £8.6m?
31. Servers
It is estimated that
a medium-sized
server has roughly
the same annual
carbon footprint as
an SUV vehicle
doing 15 miles per
gallon, covering
15,000 km16.
32. Data Centers
According to
Forrester
Research a data
centre with 1000
servers will use
enough electricity
in a single month
to power 16,800
homes for a year.
35. ICT is part of the solution
ICT could deliver a
15% reduction in global
CO2 by 2020,
delivering a cost saving
in fuel, energy and the
cost of carbon of over
a trillion dollars.
However, smart According to the
use of ICT could Climate Group, the

carbon emissions predicted to increase
in other sectors by 75% by 2020.
that is five times
greater than the
carbon emitted by
the ICT sector.
36. Dematerialization
swapping high carbon
activities with low carbon
alternatives such as:
e-billing instead of paper
billing
teleconferencing instead of
traveling to meetings and
e-media instead of producing
CDs or newspapers.
37. Smart motors
introducing ICT to the
manufacturing sector to
vary the amount of energy
used by production lines,
rather than motors either
being on or off.
38. Smart logistics
ICT can facilitate better
communication and planning,
whether this is for haulage
networks or customer delivery
rounds. Many return journeys of
vehicles carry no product and
with 80% of fleets having less
than 5 vehicles, better
coordination, communication and
cooperation is crucial to cutting
carbon.
39. Smart buildings
our buildings and how
we use them could be
far more efficient.
From occupancy based
lighting and heating
solutions to automatic
systems to capture
sunlight or provide
shade from unwanted
warmth, ICT has a role
to play.
40. Smart grids
India’s power generation
accounted for over half the
country’s carbon footprint in
2007, but a third of this was
lost in transmission making it
a complete waste. Demand
management and smart
meters will help those
supplying energy run a more
efficient systems, whilst
interactive real-time energy
displays prompt users to
consider their energy
consumption.
41. Manufacturing PC
A significant proportion of
lifetime carbon emission of
ICT equipment is in its
manufacture. The manufacture
of one PC requires about 1.7
tones of raw materials and
water, and consumes over ten
times the computer’s weight in
fossil fuels.

1. Lead in cathode ray tube
2. Arsenic in older cathode ray tubes
3. Antimony trioxide flame retardants used
4. Brominates flame retardants used in
plastic casing, cables and circuit boards
5. Selenium is also used for the average
energy supply for the circuit boards
6. Cadmium is used in circuit boards and
semiconductors
7. The use of chromium for corrosion
protection
8. Cobalt is used in steel structure

And if we believe the computer industry research
firms, which says that 70% of the new PCs buyers
already have computers of one kind or another
Actually there are millions of computers and
hundreds of millions of supplements which are
stacked in garages or some where in your home.
Not surprisingly, we discovery that most of the
computers are useable and only requires some
minor repairs.

A lot of useless talk in this issue
They have the Atlantic Ocean and
the Pacific, and save us from the
garbage
I wish that I grind and grind these
machines and paved the old ways

Since I obtained my first computer 22 years ago I
threw away about 15 machine and hundreds of pieces
in the municipal barrel!!
I do not believe there is any organization responsible
for collecting old machines???
I am only one individual, what about companies which
uses thousands of devices.

48. Green ICT and 2030 vision
The economic vision 2030 for the Kingdom of
Bahrain addressed the environmental
dimension clearly
In a world where new technologies and
increased competition on the production to
shorten the lifetime of the product,
innovation contributes to the continued
success of the economy
However, the economic growth must not come
at the expense of the environment and the
safety of citizens in the long run, which
requires us not spare any effort in order to
protect our environment and save our cultural
heritage
49. Green ICT and 2030 vision
The basic principles of the economic vision
2030 emphasizes on the issue of procedures
to protect the natural environment.
The vision encourages investment on
technologies to reduce carbon emissions,
and reduce pollution and encourage the
sourcing of more sustainable energy
50. Green ICT and 2030 vision
From here, the interest in green technology
comes to put the basic principles of
economic vision - with regard to the
environment - the subject of effective
implementation through the development of
a clear strategy to adopt green technology in
the Kingdom of Bahrain over the coming
years, and to achieve the main objective set
