Reviews

It is the most complete work on all aspects of software effort estimation that I have seen. It provides an excellent reference for the field and belongs on the bookshelf of every organization that needs to manage a software project. from the foreword by Victor Basili, University of Maryland, USA This dense book would serve as a reference in a software library, and would be a great resource for software engineering students, as well as managers, engineers, and architects. Naga Narayanaswamy, ACM Computing Reviews, December 2014
