CAST announced the release of Green Software Insights, a technology that automatically analyzes application source code for green impact, giving organizations a holistic understanding of opportunities to reduce software energy consumption. Available directly in CAST Highlight, a software intelligence product for rapid insights across application portfolios, the capability can pinpoint where and how the software source code can be changed to make it more sustainable. The release couldn't be timelier, as data center greenhouse emissions are on par with the entire airline industry, according to the first quarter 2022 Green Software Foundation report.

By plugging directly into source code repositories and analyzing applications in minutes, CAST Highlight identifies software code patterns or “green deficiencies” that waste resources and can be optimized with design and development changes. The outcome is lower energy expenditure and greenhouse gas emission with more economical, resilient, and efficient software.
