摘要:The use of crowdsourcing in software requirements engineering has become common nowadays. The web-based services offered through Crowdsourced Requirements Engineering (CRE) platforms support customers in finding timely and accurate requirements specification for their proposed tasks and projects. Currently, the literature does not have a critical assessment of the key activities involved in the CRE platforms. In this paper, we review the process used in the CRE platforms including identifying the workflow used in managing the process. Then we made a step further in the direction of improving the current platforms; the review is used to identify a set of limitations in the current process and has led to propose enhancements. These enhancements are evaluated using two techniques: questionnaire and workshop. The questionnaire shows that the enhancements are sound and practical to be added to CRE platforms. In addition, the evaluation through conducting a workshop showed that the participants were satisfied with the enhancements but asked for further modifications.
