Microtask Programming

An iterative approach for model-based requirements engineering in large collaborative projects: A detailed experience report

“…The microtasks-based approach proposed in this article has been influenced by microtask programming [51]. In there, the software development tasks are broken down into smaller tasks that can be distributed to different development teams or individual developers to provide easyto-follow decontextualized assignments, decrease joining barriers, and optimize the effort of allocating developers to multiple projects.…”

Large-Scale Microtask Programming

“…Manual approaches rely on a developer [1] or client to author each microtask [2]. Microtask programming environments can reduce onboarding barriers through preconfigured web-based environments, such as Codepilot, CrowdCode, and Collabode [3]- [5].…”

“…Moreover, decontextualizing programming work is hard, bringing with it many challenges in doing it effectively. For example, conflicts may occur when two crowd workers make conflicting assumptions, necessitating approaches to reduce or repair conflicts as they occur [5].…”
