Cost overruns an schedule delays are two widely recognised problems in the software industry. To address the problems, there have been a number of software cost estimating (SCE) tools developed in the past two decades. This paper investigates the usage of estimating tools for software project development and presents two survey studies that were carried out by the Software Quality Institute (SQI) and the Australian Software Metrics Association (ASMA). The aim of these two studies was to gain an insight into the reasons for this apparent lack of use of estimating tools in industry in order to be able to take appropriate actions for improvement
