Assessment process for a simulation-based training environment in global software development

摘要: Simulation has been applied in several Software Engineering fields, and is shown to be a useful method industrial training. As part of our research work, we have used simulation provide training Global Development (GSD). We developed platform strengthen GSD skills by simulating realistic settings which learners interact with Virtual Agents differing cultures. Thus, will experience multi-cultural problems develop specific communication skills. The development these must, however, accurately assessed, bearing mind that the aimed at different characteristics In this paper present an assessment process based on educational theory adapted simulation-based environment. Methods minimize instructors' effort tailor needs are proposed. evaluated 34 potential users. Results indicate yields meaningful results proof learning. Also automated can achieved minimal intervention from instructor. Though tailored for GSD, could other domains, both industry academia.
