Abstract: Software cost estimation plays a vital role in software project management. It is a process of predicting the effort and cost in terms of money and staff required for developing the software system. It is very much clear that software project will be successful if its estimated cost will be near to the real cost. When the project is at the acquisition stage the least details are available about a software project to be developed, due to which Problems arises in cost estimation. As the stages move on details increases for software development of software which is quite fruitful in cost estimating. However, it can be considered that estimating the software cost in the first phases will produce better results. In this research cost estimation techniques are discussed along with the issues in that particular technique and focus will be on understating the points or issues which cause hurdles or issues in estimating the cost of the software project.
