Gamifying Requirements Engineering for Better Practice
Background
“The use of game elements in non-game
contexts”.[Deterding et .al]
“Games designed for a primary purpose other
than pure entertainment”[Damien Djaouti et .al]

Motivation
Current Challenges
● Most of existed gamification approaches focus on the application of gamification onto
elicitation, negotiation and prioritization. RE sub processes such as: specification,
validation, management, etc, still has some potential to be explored as
gamification targets.
[Cursino et .al, 2018]
● The most applied gamification techniques in the context of RE focus only on points and
leaderboards elements.
[Cursino et .al, 2018]
● Half of existing serious games concern requirements elicitation, we need to design new
games to more support RE education or RE practice.
[Dal Piaz et .al, 2018]

Research Goal
1. Develop and experiment a gamebox made of all RE games we have found and a few more that
we are inventing.
2. Gamifying other activities of Requirements Engineering: Specification, Management, Validation.
