“…Finally, it is noteworthy that our mapping focused on papers that gamified SE courses by introducing gamification practices to improve the SE learning process. However, the literature also discusses the possibility of enriching SE curricula with gamification concepts Unkelos-Shpigel and Hadar, 2016 ). Albeit outside the scope of our study, these papers present a complementary approach that can be used irrespectively of the gamification of the particular SE course in which they are taught.…”

The potential of gamification in education is based on the hypothesis that it supports and motivates students and can thus lead to enhanced learning processes and outcomes. Gamification in software engineering (SE) education is in its infancy. However, as SE educators we are particularly interested in understanding how gamification is pollinating our field and the extent to which the above claim is valid in our context. A systematic literature mapping has underscored the difficulty in fully corroborating the above claim because few empirical data are available so far. However, key trends and challenges have been identified. We found that the purpose of applying gamification in the SE field is mostly directly related to improving student engagement and, to a lesser extent, to improving student knowledge, although other targets are the application of SE best practices and socialization. We have also discussed insightful issues regarding the implementation cost of gamification, patterns in the most often used gamification elements, and the SE processes and teaching activities addressed. Of the identified challenges, we should highlight the complexity of deciding which gamification approach to follow, the lack of information for choosing gamification elements and the need to control the impact of gamification.

“…Por lo tanto, la estrategia permite compartir conocimiento entre los integrantes del equipo como importante facilitador para la transferencia de conocimiento. Esto está relacionado con otras propuestas de gamificación [1,12] donde se promueve la colaboración utilizando los puntos como elementos de gamificación para compartir el conocimiento con los integrantes del equipo en la tarea de revisión de código.…”

La transferencia de conocimiento en equipos de desarrollo de software permite captar el conocimiento no externalizado de sus integrantes, formar el conocimiento organizativo a partir de un repositorio y compartirlo entre ellos. Durante este proceso se pueden presentar dificultades para tener disponible este conocimiento, las cuales pueden estar asociadas con la falta de colaboración y motivación del equipo, así como una deficiente comunicación y escaso apoyo de la organización. Ante estas dificultades, se propuso la estrategia GamifiK, soportada en gamificación para fomentar la colaboración en la transferencia de conocimiento en equipos de desarrollo de software. En este artículo se utilizó un enfoque de investigación empírica con un diseño cuasiexperimental en un contexto académico para evaluar la colaboración de los integrantes de un equipo ágil al compartir su conocimiento y contribuir con la transferencia de conocimiento. Se percibió un aumento estadísticamente significativo en la productividad del equipo, reflejado en la capacidad para realizar más historias de usuario por sprint y completar incidencias en menos tiempo. GamifiK es una estrategia con potencial para fomentar la colaboración en la transferencia de conocimiento entre los miembros de equipos de desarrollo de software.Palabras clave: Gestión del conocimiento, transferencia de conocimiento, equipos de desarrollo de software, gamificación, colaboración.

Requirements engineering is a critical part of software development. Errors in the requirements, if not found and corrected early in the engineering process, become costly problems later on. Analysts commonly rely on Use Cases or Users Stories to capture requirements. However, there is domain knowledge that these artifacts donâ€™t capture well (for example, business rules and given-then-when scenarios). Such domain knowledge is generally distributed among multiple stakeholders and domain experts with complementing perspectives. Therefore, it is important to use a collaborative technique with a simple artifact to acquire and validate their knowledge. Kernel sentences is a linguistic definition about small sentences (with only one verb) written in active voice. Some authors relate kernel sentences to business rules. We argue that kernel sentences are adequate to use in the collaborative acquisition and they can be used as the input to produce more complex artifacts. This paper proposes a collaborative approach to acquire and validate kernel sentences. The process has three main activities: acquisition of the kernel sentences, validation of them, and assessment of the activity of the experts who participate in the activity. This paper also describes a prototype to support the process. Finally, the paper shows the result of a preliminary evaluation with promising results about the applicability of the process.
