Abstract

HERNANDEZ, Luis et al. A systematic literature review focused on the use of gamification in software engineering teamworks. RISTI [online]. 2017, n.21, pp.33-50. ISSN 1646-9895.  https://doi.org/10.17013/risti.21.33-50.

Nowadays, the gamification has been applied beyond of traditional games that we know, an example is their application in topics in software engineering education, where it supports the learning and the accomplishment of activities in projects. However, there is very few evidence of its implementation to improve the integration of team work members, where there are several factors involved in their performance. One of the most important factor is the collaborative work, fundamental skill that every software engineer should have. Based on the above mentioned, the adequate integration of a teamwork influences its performance. Therefore, the skills, knowledge and interactive style for each member it should be complemented, in order to get a high effective team. This study presents results of a systematic literature review focused in gamification uses to create a team, reducing its integration time and therefore, improve its performance.

Keywords : Gamification; teamwork; collaborative work; gamification elements; software engineering; systematic literature review.
