Abstract

Requirement engineering (RE) presents several challenges stemming from the required collaboration and knowledge transfer between analysists, developers and customers. Motivation theories have been used occasionally to analyze and encourage motivation and engagement of stakeholders in RE tasks. In recent years, gamification techniques have been used in software engineering tasks, and in some cases, in RE tasks in order to promote stakeholder engagement. This paper presents a preliminary literature review that was conducted in order to model correlations documented in literature between RE tasks, stakeholder motivation and engagement, and gamification. The preliminary findings show promise for conducting a full systematic literature review (SLR) in order to complete modeling existing evidence-based literature. The SLR and the emergent model will set the grounds for a research agenda toward an exhaustive model that will offer guidance for designing gamified environments for different RE tasks, based on motivational and behavioral factors.
