Description
Internal software quality is a subarea of software quality assurance and refers to the static part of a software product, e.g., adherence to programming conventions, code complexity, or the extent of documentation. Investing in internal software quality is considered a long-term investment as it leads to increased maintainability and supportability of the software. However, the lack of immediate reward for the effort invested in internal software quality can demotivate software developers. This poses a significant risk to software projects, as poor internal software quality negatively impacts the maintainability of software. Gamification is an approach that aims to influence users' behavior by satisfying their needs, resulting in increased motivation. However, for gamification to be successful, it must be comprehensively planned and understood. Gamification's impact on internal software quality has yet to be determined. Therefore, this paper aims to analyze the use and impact of gamification in internal software quality.

The Use of Gamification to Enhance Internal Software Quality - Structured Literature Analysis
Internal software quality is a subarea of software quality assurance and refers to the static part of a software product, e.g., adherence to programming conventions, code complexity, or the extent of documentation. Investing in internal software quality is considered a long-term investment as it leads to increased maintainability and supportability of the software. However, the lack of immediate reward for the effort invested in internal software quality can demotivate software developers. This poses a significant risk to software projects, as poor internal software quality negatively impacts the maintainability of software. Gamification is an approach that aims to influence users' behavior by satisfying their needs, resulting in increased motivation. However, for gamification to be successful, it must be comprehensively planned and understood. Gamification's impact on internal software quality has yet to be determined. Therefore, this paper aims to analyze the use and impact of gamification in internal software quality.
