Abstract
This chapter will summarize the quantifiable experiences and wisdom that the two authors collected in their (combined) over fifty years of practical software engineering. Believe it or not: We have measured all the way over these fifty years!. Knowing that it is often difficult to just use plain numbers to characterize a situation, we are also aware that beginners and practitioners need some numbers to build upon — even if their applicability is somewhat limited. We will therefore provide in this chapter concrete and fact-based guidance with numbers from our own experiences so you can use it as a baselines in your projects.
