“…It is important to mention that the ANOVA model has three associated assumptions that must be validated [23]. The assumptions of the model are: (1) experimental errors of its data are normally distributed, (2) there is no difference between the variance of the treatments, and (3) there is independence between the samples. The three assumptions were validated.…”

“…The study of development and management processes in Software Engineering (SE) has been developed considering various variables; however, the social aspect, intrinsic to this discipline highlights the human factor as a research topic [1]. In a recent article about the software process improvement, a categorization of the human factor is proposed [2]; where each team member should present a commitment with the assigned task according to his/her role, that is their responsibilities role. Even though, the role tasks achievement can be analyzed from an individual point of view, we have to consider that many tasks or activities are performed in a development team context.…”

Software process has been studied from various perspectives, among them, the human factor is one of the most important due to the intrinsic social aspect of the discipline. This study aims to explore the benefits of using Belbin's role theory in tasks —team and individual— related to the software development process, particularly in Database Design (DB) Design. In this paper two controlled experiments with students are presented. In the first experiment integrated teams with compatible roles identified in the students and teams integrated through a traditional strategy were compared, during the task of DB conceptual design. In the second experiment, individual students were the experimental subjects, the performance of the Belbin roles identified in them were compared, in the task of the DB logical design. The dependent variables in both experiments were the effort in the task, and the quality of the generated design. Results in the first experiment did not show significant differences in both variables, a possible limitation was the complexity of the task. The second experiment also did not show significant differences in the effort variable; however, in the variable related to the quality of the logical design, the monitor-evaluator role presented significant differences when compared with the other six identified roles; these results are consistent with previous studies identified in the literature. We plan to continue experimenting with other tasks in order to get a deeper understanding of applying the Belbin’s theory in software process to accumulate experiences.

“…SHF are fundamental in the software development process [8]. They are considered critical factors for the success of SPI [9, 10] and influence the productivity of the work team [11]. Morales‐Aguiar and Vega‐Zepeda [9] identified the factors such as Management Commitment, Staff Involvement, Role Responsibility, and SPI Awareness as human factors that influence SPI.…”

“…They are considered critical factors for the success of SPI [9,10] and influence the productivity of the work team [11]. Morales-Aguiar and Vega-Zepeda [9] identified the factors such as Management Commitment, Staff Involvement, Role Responsibility, and SPI Awareness as human factors that influence SPI. Likewise, Nasir et al [12] identified the resistance factors in the implementation of improvement initiatives, including 'lack of adhesion and participation of all the individuals involved in SPI' and 'pressure and absence of planning concerning the adaptation period Project' as the most predominant factors.…”

Design of a gamification strategy to intervene in social and human factors associated with software process improvement change resistance

et al. 2021

Best practices of software development and software process improvement (SPI) are people-centred. Both have a high level of influence of social and human factors inherent to the individuals involved in these processes. At the same time, software process improvement is inherent to the change of the conditions and the behaviour of individuals. In this work, the authors show the results of applying a deductive approach for a method based on gamification and social and human factors to influence the productivity of the software development team. The results show that it is possible to abstract all the design aspects of an existing strategy called Interplanetary Mission and identify the social and human factors involved in change resistance in SPI initiatives. The strategy execution results show that gamification strategies could help to mitigate change resistance in SPI initiatives for software development teams and their productivity, understanding this term in software engineering context as the ratio between output and input within the software development production process.
