Software firms are interested in outsourcing and developing of software globally to the virtual crowd for minimizing the product cost and for increasing the software quality. Developments in information technology (IT) have changed the organizational working environment from centralized to disperse development working practices. As a result, companies have recognized the value of virtual world networks that offer benefits such as efficient time management, lower cost of growth, reduced travel costs, and access to larger competent team members to select the right skilled individual. With the wide spread of Web 3.0 applications and improvements in cloud computation technologies, multinational, multiskilled, and diverse crowds carry out the software developmental process. The aim of this research is to select the effective virtual crowd for the development of quality software. The proposed “characteristic-based virtual crowd selection (CBVCS)” method will select the crowd according to their unique characteristics such as their skills, experiences, expertise, and knowledge.

利用虚拟人群进行全球软件开发

软件公司有兴趣在全球范围内向虚拟人群外包和开发软件，以最大限度地降低产品成本并提高软件质量。信息技术 (IT) 的发展已将组织工作环境从集中式开发工作实践转变为分散式开发工作实践。因此，公司已经认识到虚拟世界网络的价值，这些网络提供的好处包括高效的时间管理、较低的增长成本、减少的差旅成本，以及可以接触到更大的有能力的团队成员来选择合适的技术人员。随着 Web 3.0 应用程序的广泛传播和云计算技术的改进，跨国、多技能和多样化的人群进行了软件开发过程。本研究的目的是为开发优质软件选择有效的虚拟人群。所提出的“基于特征的虚拟人群选择（CBVCS）”方法将根据人群的独特特征，如技能、经验、专长和知识来选择人群。
