A main characteristic of crowdsourcing software development (CSD) is the complexity of tasks and skills required by workers to achieve successful software crowdsourcing. The tasks proposed to the crowd in CSD are checked to ensure they are manageable and achievable. In general, individual tasks come from general goal-oriented projects. There are practices for breaking down software projects into manageable tasks, known as task decomposition. This study identified task decomposition techniques in software engineering, particularly in the context of CSD. Then, we defined the experienced developers who lead the requester in decomposing the project, preparing tasks, and reviewing submissions. This study explored and addressed decomposition approaches in CSD. Next, we selected projects in TopCoder to identify the task decomposition process in the CSD context. Finally, we concluded with future research directions for investigating decomposition approaches and their effects in the CSD context to ensure successful crowdsourced software projects.
