Serious Game Plug-In Experience for Devops

Abstract

In terms of DevOps, efficiency and speed are important dimensions that define customer satisfaction. With serious game applications, it is aimed to make the everyday industrial software efforts more efficient and faster in a competitive environment. DevOps activities potentially could be gamified to provide a competitive environment where the participants are awarded to increase productivity in a software development environment. Defect management is one of the most important components in DevOps activities in terms of customer satisfaction. In order to solve the detected bug in a shorter amount of time, the engineers participate in a competitive environment, commit to a bid to resolve bug faster, where the results are observable by other engineers in a game environment. In this study, the development and game flow of an auction-based serious game application for effective defect management is described.
