Gamification in software engineering teamworks: A systematic literature review

Nowadays, software development is done by teams where there are several factors involved in their performance. One of the most important factors is the collaborative work, fundamental skill that every professional should have, especially in the area of software engineering. Based on the above mentioned, the adequate integration of a teamwork influences its performance. Therefore, the skills, knowledge and interactive styles for each member it should be complemented, in order to get a high effective teams. In this context, one of the techniques currently being used for achieving activities related to collaborative work is the gamification, which aims to guide the improvement of the collaborative work. This study presents a comparison among the different gamification elements that can be applied to create a teamwork, reducing its integration time, and therefore, improve its performance.
