Is there any value in knowing the execution time for a unit test? @Doug usually no rearrangement would be necessary, you just run the tests that failed instead of the entire suite while debugging |

how much time do you spend on Unit testing? @Thorbjorn Not plan for failure, but consider it as a possibility. There are also degrees of success - some projects might finish but will die off over the course of a few months, for non technical reasons (marketing, distribution, design, etc). Planning for long term maintenance before the project has been successful is something that should done wisely. |

how much time do you spend on Unit testing? You can't really "plan" to have a long living application since you can't tell in advance whether the project will be successful or not. You should always consider that when budgeting time for testing |

How long can it take for a screen to appear before it's considered a performance issue? I'd argue the timing data is outdated, seeing it was written about 20 years ago. Today, with incredibly powerful machine on every desktop and proliferation of real-time interaction, people are accustomed to much shorter response times than 10 seconds. |

How should you approach supporting rapidly-updating web browsers? My point is that for browsers other than IE, so far it has not been critical to specify which version exactly you are supporting ever since vendors fell in line with the standards. Interest holders such as clients and managers need to be briefed about the history of non-IE browsers in recent years so they can have more confidence that the product won't break under normal circumstances - which is what I think they really want to know, and not the specific version of a particular browser. QA guys on the other hand have to relent and agree to test browsers that have a significant market share. |

Software cost estimation This is in fact, two questions. I suggest you rewrite it as one main question that is not dependent on esoteric software. I doubt you'll get many answers if the requirement is knowledge with Cocomo |

Zend Framework: Should I worry about the details of the MVC implementation? For that you would have to read the actual code. It might be complex by PHP standards, but it's really not very complex. I can add the class and method names to the process I described if that would help |
