Abstract
En 中文
Crowdsourcing is outsourcing to an undefined network of contributors. It has quickly gained momentum to fill urgent competence needs. There is a dark side. Amazon Mechanical Turk workers make extremely little money and enjoy no protections. This affects the entire software landscape because such microtasking reduces software quality. Also, students wonder whether they should still embark on computer science and software engineering careers. In this instalment of Software Technology, Alexandre Zanatta and his colleagues introduce us to software crowdsourcing, describing various platforms and presenting a case study from Brazil. I look forward to hearing from both readers and prospective column authors.
