摘要：
Software crowdsourcing has been regarded as a new paradigm for the provision of crowd-labor in software development tasks. Companies around the world adopt this paradigm to identify collective solutions to solve problems, ways to accelerate time-to-market, increase the quality and reduce the software cost. Although this paradigm is a trend in the software engineering area, several challenges are behind software crowdsourcing. In this study, we explore how the software crowdsourcing has been developed in the Brazilian IT industry. We have conducted 20 interviews with Brazilians practitioners in order to identify the main challenges for software crowdsourcing in Brazil. Additionally, we identified and discussed enablers and blockers' factors, practice implications and directions for future research in the area. Our paper aims to provide an overview of the software crowdsourcing in Brazil and motivation for researchers to better understand challenges faced by the Brazilian IT industry.
