KDE EcoHow can we ensure energy data from KEcoLab are stable?
@sthak9 has some ideas.
"Ensuring KEcoLab Stability: Introducing Dedicated CI-Test"

#KEcoLab is a KDE tool for measuring software's #energy consumption, but it needs robust testing to ensure stable functionality after code changes. Sarthak presents his work in Season of #KDE 2024 implementing dedicated test builds with #Kate test scripts.

Ensuring KEcoLab Stability: Introducing Dedicated CI-Test
KEcoLab, a tool for measuring software energy consumption, needs robust testing to ensure its functionality after every code change. This blog post presents the work I did in Season of KDE 2024 implementing dedicated test builds using Kate test scripts to achieve this goal.
Selenium automation for measuring software's energy consumption?
@prady0t wants to guide you!
Read about his Season of KDE 2024 work on documentation for #Selenium AT-SPI, including video guides for the #KDE community.

KEcoLab in Season of KDE 2024: Energy-Consumption Measurements In The CI/CD Pipeline
#KEcoLab is a tool enabling remote access to KDE's measurement lab in Berlin.
Season of #KDE contributor Aakarsh MJ (@aakarshmj) has worked on integration of KEcoLab into #Okular's pipeline. Thanks to his work, #energy reports can now be created with every new release!

KEcoLab in SoK24: Incorporating Energy-Consumption Measurements In The CI/CD Pipeline
KEcoLab Sustainability has been one of three goals at KDE over the past 2 years. One aspect of this goal is to measure the energy consumption of KDE software. To do this, it is necessary to access the lab in KDAB, Berlin, which can now be done remotely using KEcoLab.
The most environmentally-friendly device is the one you already own!
#FreeSoftware #OpenSource let's you use your devices until the end of the hardware's life cycle, not the software's!
See these previous posts about the environmental harm of #eWaste and the role of Free Software in combatting it:

Attached: 1 image With #FreeSoftware you can do something to combat #EWaste! Production accounts for 75+% of a device's #carbon footprint over its operating life. Software can determine how long a device remains in use. Lightweight, up-to-date software, free from bloat and ads, keeps less-powerful #hardware running and out of the bin. Software freedom means hardware freedom. Donate to #KDE and other #FOSS projects to support #SustainableSoftware. https://kde.org/fundraisers/yearend2022/ #KDEEco #OpenSource #Sustainability
The power of Free Software: Turning trash into treasure!
The Cape Verdean American Community Development (#CACD) group has been reviving otherwise-obsolete computers with KDE #Plasma (#Kubuntu).
"The result? Less #eWaste and more control over the functioning of personal devices. That means not having to buy new when your software becomes unusable over time."

KdeEcoTest on Windows? Yes 🚀
#KdeEcoTest is used for creating replicable scripts for measuring software's #energy consumption.
Season of #KDE contributor Amartya Chakraborty has extended its support to Windows.
KdeEcoTest creates scripts without requiring access to source code. Soon we can compare energy profiles of Okular vs. Acrobat!

Making way for Wayland in KdeEcoTest!
#KdeEcoTest is an automation and testing tool. It is used for creating usage scenario scripts to measure the #energy consumption of software.
Season of #KDE contributor Athul Raj K has added #Wayland support to the tool. Now it is possible to compare the energy demands of software on Wayland vs. X11!
