Almost surreptitiously, crowdsourcing has entered software engineering practice. In-house development, contracting, and outsourcing still dominate, but many development projects use crowdsourcing-for example, to squash bugs, test software, or gather alternative UI designs. Although the overall impact has been mundane so far, crowdsourcing could lead to fundamental, disruptive changes in how software is developed. Various crowdsourcing models have been applied to software development. Such changes offer exciting opportunities, but several challenges must be met for crowdsourcing software development to reach its potential.
