Continuous Fun: Game Driven Dev to drive software eng. practices
summary
A nine‑step Game Driven Development framework uses a gamification design canvas plus a Miro board, business‑model canvas and pipeline dashboards to turn CI/CD test work into a points tournament. A telecom rollout runs as Game of Testing across more than 1,000 people, awards points for unit/integration/regression tests, penalizes fake positives, and stages levels (chickens 0–1k, lions 1k–6k, dragons >6k points). The system increases automated tests, raises test quality, and boosts engagement.
