Özet:Crowdsourcing is a business model which allows practitioners to access a rather cheap and scalable workforce. However, due to loose worker-employer relationships, skill diversity of the crowd and anonymity of participants, it tends to result in lower quality compared to traditional way of doing work. Thus crowdsourcing practitioners use certain techniques to make sure the end product complies with the quality requirements. Each quality assurance technique used in crowdsourcing impacts the project cost and schedule. A well-defined method is needed to estimate these impacts in order to manage the crowdsourcing effectively and efficiently. This study proposes a cost of quality approach for analyzing quality related costs in crowdsourcing and introduces the cost models of common quality assurance techniques.
