Abstract: Abstract One of the few constants in the world of software engineering is that projects always take longer to finish than you expect. The classic example is a video game called “Duke Nukem Forever,” which was announced in 1997 by its manufacturer, 3D Realms…and still had not been released as of early 2009. The joke among video game fans is that the initials “DNF” stand for “Did Not Finish.”
