Abstract
The topic of enhancing the software development process has received much attention in recent decades. Several models have been developed to this end, typically addressing the characteristics of the process or the organization. We believe that an additional, substantial enhancement of software development can be achieved via encouraging productive behavior among individual software developers. In this paper, we propose a framework for enhancing motivation among software developers, using gamification principles. As a first step in this ongoing research, we designed a prototype for a game, which can be used in various tasks in the software development process. The game is based on cognitive theories, which address motivation among practitioners.
