The demand for sustainable software is increasing, as the understanding of the importance of sustainability aspects is developing in the software engineering community. The most effective decisions related to sustainability of software can be made in the early stages of software development. To support these decisions, we introduce Sustainability Profiling for Software (SuSoftPro) tool that can assist in analysing sustainability require- ments. In this paper, we analyse the core features of SuSoftPro in comparison with two other approaches, which utilise Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis. We also present a case study we conducted using SuSoftPro: analysis of sustainability aspects of a Skin Cancer Information System.
