Abstract
The Internet based software is growing very fast with the soaring of the Internet, traditional approaches, which specify requirement offline and develop in isolated teams, are no longer the best approach. Especially after the web 2.0 and the crowdsourcing came up, it has shown some very promising qualities in speeding up the software development. Taking advantage of this, we present a novel software developing approach, which specify requirement by online crowdsourcing with expert supervision and develop using micro-task based crowdsourcing. To verify the feasibility of our approach, we established an online platform CrowdEV and ran a user study on that, which resulted in a successful development of a SNS software within campus in 5 days, comparing with an open-source project that took 17 days for similar functions.
