The Estimation of Software Cost
Szabolcs Michael de Gyurky · 2005
Explores the process of estimating software costs, both traditional and non-traditional, and what this means to project efficiency, cost, and product quality. Compares how expert managers use a priori costing correctly, and how novice managers and poor architects cannot get the costs straight. Includes a description of one of the principal reasons for cost overruns and the prohibitively high cost of software in this country.
