The primary purpose of software estimation is not to predict a project’s outcome; it is to determine whether a project’s targets are realistic enough to allow the project to be controlled to meet them ? This variation can be explained by the fact that initial concepts do not describe the final software system accurate enough.

We engineers should always keep in mind that software development is usually one part of many others inside the company.

In the 1960s, it was considered a baseline good practice in software engineering to test your code as you wrote it. The pioneers of software development in that era were proponents of various levels of testing; some advocated “unit” testing and some didn’t, but all recognized the importance of testing code.
