2nd International Workshop on Crowd Sourcing in Software Engineering (CSI-SE 2015)
Crowdsourcing is increasingly revolutionizing the ways in which software is engineered, and software engineering researchers may even benefit from new opportunities to evaluate their work with real developers by recruiting developers from the crowd.
Abstract
Crowdsourcing is increasingly revolutionizing the ways in which software is engineered. Programmers increasingly crowdsource answering their questions through Q&A sites. Non-programmers may contribute human-intelligence to development projects, by, for example, usability testing software or even play games with a purpose to implicitly construct formal specifications. Crowdfunding helps to democratize decisions about what software to build. Software engineering researchers may even benefit from new opportunities to evaluate their work with real developers by recruiting developers from the crowd. CSI- SE will inform the software engineering community of current techniques and trends in crowdsourcing, discuss the application of crowdsourcing to software engineering to date, and identify new opportunities to apply crowdsourcing to solve software engineering problems.
