Energy consumption information for devices, as available in the literature, is typically obtained with ad hoc approaches, thus\nmaking replication and consumption data comparison difficult. We propose a process for measuring the energy consumption of a\nsoftware application. The process contains four phases, each providing a structured deliverable that reports the information\nrequired to replicate the measurement. The process also guides the researcher on a threat to validity analysis to be included in each\ndeliverable. This analysis ensures better reliability, trust, and confidence to reuse the collected consumption data. Such a process\nproduces a structured consumption data for any kind of electronic device (IoT devices, mobile phones, personal computers,\nservers, etc.), which can be published and shared with other researchers fostering comparison or further investigations. A real case\nexample demonstrates how to apply the process and how to create the required deliverables.
