Evaluation of Game Design Framework Using a Gamified Browser-Based Application (2306.07463v1)

Abstract: Privacy Policy under GDPR law helps users understand how software developers handle their personal data. GDPR privacy education must be considered a vital aspect of combating privacy threats. In this paper, we present the design and development of a gamified browser-based application aimed at motivating software developers to enhance their secure coding behavior. To evaluate the proposed game design framework through the developed framework, a think-aloud study was carried out along with pre-and post-test. There was an improvement in the software developers' secure coding behaviors through playing the game which had GDPR privacy laws incorporated to enhance their knowledge of privacy.
