In the dynamic software field there are major challenges in adapting metrics and cost estimation methods
to continuing changes. There is a need to assess emerging trends and re-interpret software size measures
and estimation models for new processes. Future trends of software systems are overviewed with
implications for software sizing and cost estimation capabilities. Methods are shown to handle some of
these effects, but many software variabilities remain uncovered.
