Quasi-crowdsourcing testing for educational projects
Zhenyu Chen, Bin Luo · 2014
The idea of crowdsourcing tasks in software engineering, especially software testing, has gained popularity in recent years. Crowdsourcing testing and educational projects are natural complementary. One of the challenges of crowdsourcing testing is to find a number of qualified workers with low cost. Students in software engineering are suitable candidates for crowdsourcing testing. On the other hand, practical projects play a key role in software engineering education. In order to enhance educational project outcomes and achieve industrial-strength training, we need to provide the opportunity for students to be exposed to commercial software development.
