Theory Use In Software Engineering: A Systematic Mapping Study
<p><strong>Abstract </strong></p> <p><strong>Context</strong>: The use of theories in Software Engineering research is not as common or explicit as in other fields,<br>with most studies focusing on technical aspects. However, establishing a more robust theoretical foundation could<br>significantly contribute to the maturation of Software Engineering as a science.</p> <p><strong>Objective</strong>: Therefore, this study investigates the use of theory in software engineering by applying the snowballing<br>technique to systematic literature reviews indexed by the main online databases over the last 16 years. It also analyzes<br>the extent of theory use and what, how, and where these theories are used.</p> <p><strong>Method</strong>: We conducted a systematic mapping study to classify evidence on theory definitions, papers’ quality,<br>research topics, methods, types, theory types, theory roles, and publication venues.</p> <p><strong>Results</strong>: Our results showed that the term “theory” varied among the literature due to inconsistent terminology,<br>thus necessitating a comprehensive approach for accurate identification. Although many theories are cited, only a tiny<br>percentage see repeated application across studies, with limited testing for relevance to practical software engineering<br>contexts.</p> <p><strong>Conclusion</strong>: Despite the increase in proposed theories, software engineering requires further attention to mature, as<br>most papers primarily use theory to justify or motivate experimental research questions. Furthermore, although there<br>is a diversity of research topics and an adaptation of external theories, only 16% of studies explicitly operationalize<br>theory, highlighting the need for more intentional theoretical integration and developing SE-specific frameworks.</p>

Empirical Study and Vision for a Holistic Serious Game Platform for Software Engineering Education
<p>Serious games are becoming increasingly popular in universities to motivate students. Therefore, more and more lecturers are using game-based learning to encourage students to learn the subject matter. However, using serious games in Software Engineering (SE) lectures at universities is rather challenging as the subject is very practice-oriented and requires special kinds of tasks, e.g., practicing programming, software modeling, etc. Thus, building serious games and integrating such SE-specific tasks is a serious technical challenge and requires immense development effort. Therefore, before developing new games, students' preferences should be analyzed to increase the chances that these games will be played. To address this issue, we conducted an empirical study with 105 students to investigate the requirements and chances for using serious games in SE education in universities. Our analysis shows that students' preferences vary significantly and that there is no clear indication of a single game type that motivates all students equally. Therefore, our second contribution is a vision for a microservice-based Holistic Serious Game Platform for Software Engineering Education, which supports efficiently developing different serious games and integrating SE-specific mini-games and tasks. Hence, our empirical results and the presented approach support advancing research and development of serious SE games and also sensitize game developers to the needs of SE education.</p>

Emergent Solutions on Requirement Engineering for Agile Software Development: A tertiary study (Auxiliary Documentation in PDF)
<p><strong>[Context and motivation]</strong> Agile Software Development (ASD) is a new trend in software development and has become popular. Its advocates claim that ASD is well suited to solving traditional software development problems by valuing human factors over technical ones. However, one of the most critical phases in software development, Requirements Engineering (RE), can be overwhelming for ASD values.<br> <strong>[Question/problem]</strong> Trying to work with RE in a traditional way for ASD can limit ASD's potential. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate what academia and industry have done in RE to exploit all of the capabilities of ASD beyond traditional RE. <br> <strong>[Principal ideas/results]</strong> This work presents an overview of the state-of-the-art Requirement Engineering (RE) for Agile Software Development (ASD). We conducted a Tertiary Study in secondary studies published from 1st January 2015 to 30th June 2021, looking for solutions for RE-ASD using the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) protocol described by Kitchenham and Charters (2007). After executing the SLR protocol, we accepted 37 out of 169 studies and encountered 136 solutions used by academia and industry for RE-ASD. We considered only a few solutions that could be classified as emergent for RE-ASD, 24 out of 106. Furthermore, we cataloged the challenges presented by the emergent solutions (e.g., a steep learning curve due to the lack of experience, process, or culture) that should be addressed. Finally, we identified a possible gap between academia and industry regarding these emerging solutions that need further investigation. <br> <strong>[Contribution]</strong> By highlighting emerging Requirements Engineering (RE) solutions for Agile Software Development (ASD), we made our contribution to help researchers who need to propose new solutions to some of the problems that remain unsolved by pointing out the recent trends for RE for ASD.</p> <p>The repository contains the following:</p> <ul> <li>Auxiliary Documentation in PDF;</li> <li>Dataset from the Tertiary Study - compressed file (refsq2023Complement.zip): <ul> <li> <p><strong>REFSQ2023-ALL-ARTICLES.csv:</strong> is a comma-separated file with all 198 (including the duplicates) found in our search in the digital libraries with their respective status (accepted, rejected, or duplicated).</p> </li> <li> <p><strong>REFSQ2023-DISTINCT-SOLUTIONS.csv:</strong> is a comma-separated file with all the distinct solutions we found in our research.
