Summary: | In today's context, marked by digitization and the development of information technology, one of
the topics that needs to be addressed is the "costs of software development". This study investigates
the evolution of scientific production related to the research topic based on descriptive and
bibliometric analysis of selected articles on Web of Science and EBSCO, thus continuing existing
research in the field. The importance of this theme is due to the increasing interest of entities to use
customized software products that help them to achieve the desired results. The scientific approach
is based on information from national and international literature and practice and various
electronic sources. It has been shown that the development costs of custom software depend largely
on the number of technical resources, the number and complexity of software product features and
design patterns. Therefore, accurate estimation is impossible without prior analysis of the software
design, business objectives and cost factors.
