So to produce high quality software in today's networked universe, you need to test all possible combinations which isn't practically feasible, or you need to test differently. When we run our tests, we essentially train the software. Traditional test strategies focus on feature or component level testing through either manual or automated means, but may not account for end-user scenario-based1 testing or usability related aspects of the product as a whole. On the Lync team, we use productivity games2 specifically designed for our features and signature scenarios as a way to complement traditional workplace testing methodologies, and to expand how we test software. This paper discuss how we used productivity games to enhance the quality of our products by improving team collaboration, employee engagement, and cost savings. We illustrate the use of productivity games in the workplace as a way to involve many faces of quality into the software development lifecycle3 by including all major stakeholders into the gaming experience and targeting multiple platforms. We also show examples of how structured productivity games improve software quality, ensure a highly productive workforce and transform an often mundane task of software testing into a fun activity. While our research shows that productivity games have improved the quality of our product, this paper does not provide actual results of the metrics on this due to proprietary concerns.","PeriodicalId":345745,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE International Games Innovation Conference (IGIC)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130926067","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The game was developed on a very short time frame (four months) by a small student team (three programmers and one designer). Because of the limited development time available the game could not undergo extensive playtest. More importantly, since the game had to be submitted to the competition we could not leverage digital distribution to update the game, identify design flaws or fix bugs. Accordingly, before submitting the game, we decided to instrument the code to collect as much information as possible about the gameplay, and performed a rather limited playtest during two public events. Then, we applied data mining both to look for peculiar characteristics of the platforms employed, to discover interesting patterns, and to identify flaws and/or opportunities in our game design. Overall, we identified at least one major design flaw regarding the pace in one specific game mode which we solved by introducing new game elements. We also discovered some design opportunities to inherently modify the game difficulty by leveraging upon the way players tend to use the devices.","PeriodicalId":345745,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE International Games Innovation Conference (IGIC)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114582566","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
