AB  - Software Effort Estimation has always been an ongoing challenge to software engineers, as testing is one of most critical activities of SDLC. Now-a-days, accurate & reliable effort estimation is the need of software companies. There are various models and techniques used to estimate the software project effort. However, due to some factors or causes, they are unable to give accurate results. So, this paper act as torchbearer to various questions related to factors, importance of estimation, problem faced by estimation techniques, guidelines etc. of effort estimation. In this paper, we also summarized existing techniques that used for effort estimation.
