论文摘要
不能过分强调有效和可持续的软件来改善业务和实现目标。如果不采用可持续的软件设计实践，则无法实现可持续的数字服务和产品交付。尽管目前在软件可持续性方面取得了研究进展，但发展中国家的大多数软件开发从业人员尚不清楚什么构成软件可持续性，并且常常缺乏对如何在其特定行业领域中实施它的正确理解。软件工程的研究工作着重于促进发达国家的软件可持续性意识，并且在研究发展中国家同样的认识方面的努力较少。这影响了大多数发展中国家对可持续软件设计实践的认识水平。这项研究调查了尼日利亚养老金行业软件可持续性的认识及其在从业者中的挑战。软件开发从业人员参与并采访。我们提供了减轻确定的挑战并提高养老金行业软件可持续性的认识的方法。我们的发现进一步表明，凭借正确的可持续性知识，养老金行业的软件从业人员有可能支持其组织的可持续文化并提高产品设计和服务提供的效率。
The need for efficient and sustainable software to improve business and achieve goals cannot be over-emphasized. Sustainable digital services and product delivery cannot be achieved without embracing sustainable software design practices. Despite the current research progress on software sustainability, most software development practitioners in developing countries are unclear about what constitutes software sustainability and often lack the proper understanding of how to implement it in their specific industry domain. Research efforts from software engineering focused on promoting software sustainability awareness in developed countries, and fewer efforts have been channeled to studying the same awareness in developing countries. This has affected the level of awareness about sustainable software design practices in most developing countries. This research investigates the awareness of software sustainability in the Nigerian pension industry and its challenges among practitioners. The software development practitioners were engaged and interviewed. We offered ways to mitigate the identified challenges and promote the awareness of software sustainability in the pension industry. Our findings further show that, with the right sustainability knowledge, the software practitioners in the pension industry have the potential to support their organization's sustainable culture and improve the efficiency of product design and service delivery.
