Clearly, there is a serious issue in estimating a realistic, software project budget. Furthermore, generic estimation models cannot be trusted to provide credible estimates for projects as complex as software projects.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e This book presents a number of examples using data collected over the years from various organizations building software. It also presents an overview of the non-for-profit organization, which collects data on software projects, the International Software Benchmarking Standards Group. This data collection is based on the ISO standards for measuring the functional size of software.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Additional features of this book are: \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eEnd-of-chapter exercises and 'terms assignments'\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e100+ figures to illustrate concepts presented throughout the book\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExamples with industry data\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eReferences to the ISO standards and the standards of the International Software Benchmarking Standards Group (ISBSG)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In summary, Dr. Abran instructs readers how to build their own estimation models from the data of an organization using a sounds statistical basis, and how to focus on the quality of the estimation models built.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlain Abran, PhD, \u003c\/b\u003e is a Professor and the Director of the Software Engineering Research Laboratory at Université du Québec, Canada.
