Few tips to estimate better by a Java programmer

It’s difficult to estimate an application before a single line of code written on the IDE: Can you imagine having a lifelong relationship with someone, about whom you don’t have any clue!! Nope!! The similar case happens when a java programmer is projected to estimate a java application at a time, when there is not a single line of code on his Java IDE!! It is probably one of the hardest tasks for any java developer or manager. But again, we have to start from somewhere so why not from here!! So, let’s have a brief analysis over how to start our next java application with a systematic manner so that we can avoid some unpleasant situations.

Understand the requirement of client properly: The most important step for any application development is to focus on the target or you can say aim. For the same, the java developer or programmer must communicate properly with the client and should try to understand what he is expecting from us. The developer must understand his requirements in order to kick start his process. After understanding the requirement, he must test feasibility of the application i.e. whether his requirements can be achievable within the technology constraints or not!!; because, sometimes we find some peculiar demands of clients which are technically unachievable till then. So, in that case, the java programmer must inform about the situation to the client with some other alternatives which can match his requirements to a close extent.

Develop a flow chart for your upcoming java application: After requirement gather, the Java developer must make a sketch of the flow diagram of the application. Well, this flow diagram is not final but still the developer must concentrate more on the flow chart in order to avoid some substandard obstacles in future.

You must expect an unexpected circumstance in future: Though it is a virtual step, but still we must think beyond our heart and mind. We should assume some unexpected obstacles that may come under our path in future to avoid unnecessary conflict with the client. So we should keep some extra space around to roam in case of any emergency or unexpected situations.

Determine the essential and optional modules to be developed: Now, the Java developer should start listing for the essential as well as optional module names that may be required over time. In this stage, the java programmer should analyse the flow of the application in advance to avoid future collision.

Put your experience and expertise to determine an estimated time and work hour: In order to provide a deadline to the client for which our client is extremely anxious, we must pay special attention considering all the constraints. Here, you have to put all our effort, experience and expertise that you have had gained over time to meet the client expectation. I would suggest playing a safe side here, you must keep some room for unexpected situations of future and unexpected demand of the client who wants all his new demands should fulfil within that old deadline!!

Still we can’t ignore human errors!! It is obvious that we can’t ignore the human errors in any case and hence in this case as well! For the same, more than 90% java projects crosses the deadline and we have to admit it!!
