N2  - Software development projects often fail because of insufficient code quality. It is now well documented that the task of testing software, for example, is perceived as uninteresting and rather boring, leading to poor software quality and major challenges to software development companies. One promising approach to increase the motivation for considering software quality is the use of gamification. Initial research works already investigated the effects of gamification on software developers and come to promising. Nevertheless, a lack of results from field experiments exists, which motivates the chapter at hand. By conducting a gamification experiment with five student software projects and by interviewing the project members, the chapter provides insights into the changing programming behavior of information systems students when confronted with a leaderboard. The results reveal a motivational effect as well as a reduction of code smells.

T1  - Is a Progressive Web App an Alternative for Native App Development?
T2  - 3. Wissenschaftsforum: Digitale Transformation (WiFo21) (Lecture Notes in Informatics ; P-319)
N2  - The  existence  of  several  mobile  operating  systems,  such  as  Android  and  iOS,  is  a  challenge for developers because the individual platforms are not compatible with each other and require separate app developments. For this reason, cross-platform approaches have become popular but lack in cloning the native behavior of the different operating systems. Out of the plenty cross-platform approaches, the progressive web app (PWA) approach is perceived as promising but needs further investigation. Therefore, the paper at hand aims at investigating whether PWAs are a suitable alternative  for  native  apps  by  developing  a  PWA  clone  of  an  existing  app.  Two  surveys  are  conducted in which potential users test and evaluate the PWA prototype with regard to its usability. The  survey  results  indicate  that  PWAs  have  great  potential,  but  cannot  be  treated  as  a  general  alternative  to  native  apps.  For  guiding  developers  when  and  how  to  use  PWAs,  four  design guidelines for the development of PWA-based apps are derived based on the results.

T1  - Big Data Research - How to Structure the Changes of the Past Decade?
T2  - The Art of Structuring
N2  - In the past decade, many IS researchers focused on researching the phenomenon of Big Data. At the same time, the relevance of data protection gets more attention than ever before. In particular, since the enactment of the European General Data Protection Regulation in May 2018 Information Systems research should provide answers for protecting personal data. The article at hand presents a structuring framework for Big Data research outcome and the consideration of data protection. IS Researchers might use the framework in order to structure Big Data literature and to identify research gaps that should be addressed in the future.
