Estimation is an important and challenging software development activity. The managers and customers must have a horizon of the project and thus make good business decisions. Estimating is to provide a view clear enough that these decisions are taken and the project objectives achieved. This is done trying to predict the effort required to develop the software and its components. Estimates are not absolute mathematical values, but they are order of magnitude representations of software components. They should be adjusted according to several variables. Requirements, software management and development processes, architecture, characteristics and constraints of the project, human, environmental and political factors have to be considered in the estimation. There are several estimation techniques and approaches, but there is no objective relation of superiority among them, each one has its characteristics that make them more or less suitable for different contexts. Rests with the project manager the responsibility to adopt a technique, whether formal or empirical, according to project requirements. However, the quality of the estimation depends on the skill, knowledge and experience of the estimator more than the technique used
