Project delays: why good software estimates are impossible

We do. Unit tests, integration tests, manual smoke tests, code reviews of every commit, design reviews, self hosting...

Sometimes your test matrix is too big. But I agree: sometimes you have to move slower in order to go faster overall and have better estimates. Estimates have to take into account testing and regression testing, which most people don't so it can make you look slow if you start doing that.

You should probably mention that it's your own book you are plugging here.
