FAQPage Schema
How do I estimate the development time for a WoW addon from its Lua source?▼

To estimate WoW addon development time, audit the Lua source, TOC, and documentation files to evaluate system count, API surface, and novel work, producing a calibrated per-phase time breakdown for seasoned developers.

What makes a World of Warcraft addon complex to code?▼

WoW addon complexity is driven by the system count, API surface area, and amount of novel work required, which are evaluated by analyzing Lua source and TOC files to generate a tiered complexity rating.

How do I audit my addon codebase to see if a feature is a weekend project or a multi-month endeavor?▼

Auditing an addon codebase involves analyzing Lua source and documentation to assess overall scope and novelty, delivering a structured verdict with key complexity drivers and a realistic time estimate.

Can I get a time estimate for developing a WoW addon if I only have Lua and TOC files?▼

Yes, analyzing Lua source and TOC files provides enough context to evaluate the API surface and system count, generating a calibrated time estimate broken down by development phase.

What is the process for evaluating the API surface of a WoW addon?▼

Evaluating the API surface involves analyzing the addon's Lua source code and TOC files to measure the scope of systems and novel work, resulting in a tier rating and per-phase time breakdown.
