Editorial Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 4Improving Social Aspects of the Software Development Process: Games, Gamification and Related Approaches(Graz Univ Technolgoy, inst information Systems Computer Media-iicm, 2016) Yilmaz, Murat; Yılmaz, Murat; O'Connor, Rory V.; Mora, Manuel; O’Connor, Rory V.; Yazılım MühendisliğiConference Object Citation - WoS: 49Citation - Scopus: 66Software Engineering Education and Games: a Systematic Literature Review(Graz Univ Technolgoy, inst information Systems Computer Media-iicm, 2016) Kosa, Mehmet; Yılmaz, Murat; Yilmaz, Murat; O'Connor, Rory V.; Clarke, Paul M.; O’Connor, Rory V.; Yazılım MühendisliğiThe trend in using games in elementary level education also spreads through higher education levels and specific domains such as engineering. Recently, researchers have shown an increased interest in the usage of games in software engineering. In this paper, we are presenting a systematic review and analysis of 350 papers regarding games in software engineering education that was published in the last fifteen years. After applying our inclusion criteria and manual inspection of these studies, we have ended up with 53 primary papers. Based on a systematic process, we reported and discussed our findings with possible future research directions. The main results of this study indicate that the studies are accumulated around 5 categories: Games that learners/students play, games that learners/students develop as projects, curriculum proposals, developing/coming up with new approaches, tools, frameworks or suggestions and others.Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 10A Literature Survey: Is It Necessary To Develop a New Software Development Methodology for Virtual Reality Projects(Graz Univ Technolgoy, inst information Systems Computer Media-iicm, 2017) Güleç, Ulaş; Gulec, Ulas; Yilmaz, Murat; Yılmaz, Murat; Isler, Veysi; Bilgisayar Mühendisliği; Yazılım MühendisliğiSoftware development is a complex human endeavour with high failure rates. Although a variety of software development methodologies have been proposed to improve the software development process, there is no universal model for all software development organizations. Virtual reality (VR) is an emerging trend especially for the gaming industry, which should prepare itself for VR development. The goal of this study is to explore potential software development activities and determine whether designing a new software development methodology for VR projects is an important topic for software development organizations working on VR software development. For this purpose, a literature survey has been completed and 71 academic studies have been examined in detail. This study shows that no work is being conducted in the field of developing a new methodology for VR projects. However, the study does show that there are similar endeavours in the field of human computer interaction (HCI), such as game development methodology.Article Citation - WoS: 43Citation - Scopus: 53Gamification as a Disruptive Factor in Software Process Improvement Initiatives(Graz Univ Technolgoy, inst information Systems Computer Media-iicm, 2014) Herranz, Eduardo; Yılmaz, Murat; Colomo-Palacios, Ricardo; de Amescua Seco, Antonio; Yilmaz, Murat; Yazılım MühendisliğiFor any Software Process Improvement (SPI) initiative to succeed human factors, in particular, motivation and commitment of the people involved should be kept in mind. In fact, Organizational Change Management (OCM) has been identified as an essential knowledge area for any SPI initiative. However, enough attention is still not given to the human factors and therefore, the high degree of failures in the SPI initiatives is directly linked to a lack of commitment and motivation. Gamification discipline allows us to define mechanisms that drive people's motivation and commitment towards the development of tasks in order to encourage and accelerate the acceptance of an SPI initiative. In this paper, a gamification framework oriented to both organization needs and software practitioners groups involved in an SPI initiative is defined. This framework tries to take advantage of the transverse nature of gamification in order to apply its Critical Success Factors (CSF) to the organizational change management of an SPI. Gamification framework guidelines have been validated by some qualitative methods. Results show some limitations that threaten the reliability of this validation. These require further empirical validation of a software organization.
