-Qualitative system requirements and thoughtful communication are the key factors to successful implementation of software development projects. However, errors that occur by misunderstanding and incomprehension between parties involved in the project can lead not only to the high cost of the project but also to a large number of defects discovered only after the system release, which in turn strongly influences the product quality. The software review processes are implemented to reduce projects costs and ensure high product quality. The goal of the present paper is to identify the role of review processes in software testing. To achieve this goal, the process of test case review has been implemented during testing.

Digital serious games and game-based learning have contributed to the expansion of new educational paradigms, where the use of computing resources is mixed with traditional ways of teaching. Allied to these advances, the virtual worlds are increasingly being used as tools to motivate students, providing immersion, autonomy and dynamism. This paper shows the development and application, focusing on the latter, of JASPION, a ubiquitous serious game integrated to OpenSim virtual world for computer networks education, which has an adventure narrative style with a storyline inspired in "The Fantastic JASPION" television series, placing the player in the role of a character. Topics of computer networks' subject from Computer Science degree are contemplated. The ubiquitous features are contemplated by the sensitivity of cognitive style and level of expertise contexts, providing a customized game play profile for different players. The approach seeks to place the student on a transparent learning environment, reflecting aspects of ubiquitous learning, and is applied taking advantage of an assessment carried out by a hybrid method that explores two main instruments: adaptation of a questionnaire (Savi, 2011) and analysis of user's interaction with the game through the computer screen capture. The results show the existence of motivational signs on students about computer networks discipline, highlighting the game's potential as an educational tool.

The software industry is becoming an increasingly important part of the economy in countries that have realized that the education of future software engineers is crucial to having a vibrant software industry. However, software engineering education is still influenced by traditional teaching impeding the acquisition of soft skills. Game‐based learning (GBL) combines learning with different known resources, such as games, to support and improve the teaching/learning process and/or student evaluation through active learning. This study presents a systematic literature review on the use of GBL for teaching software engineering at the undergraduate level, from 2001 to 2020, by addressing four research questions: What kinds of games have been developed for software engineering education? Which software engineering areas have been addressed by these games? Which soft skills have been promoted by using these games? How have these skills been evaluated? The study found 96 studies to answer these four questions. The findings provided evidence on the development of digital games focused on teaching the fundamentals of software engineering defined by software engineering body of knowledge. Moreover, these games have been able to promote the acquisition of more than one soft skill which is beneficial for undergraduate students.
