Current methodological research

The quality of resource estimates for computer program system development can be improved. The methods for improving estimates, however, are not simple. There will be no technical breakthroughs in the near future which will greatly simplify the system development process, and therefore simplify estimating that process. There will be no magic formulas derived which will crank out accurate estimates merely by the substitution of some known quantities.
