Computer software products represent costs of computer software to be sold, leased or otherwise marketed. Computer software products amortization expense was $10.2 million in 2020, $10.4 million in 2019 and $11.8 million in 2018.
Estimated amortization expense is $53.9 million in 2021, $51.0 million in 2022, $49.7 million in 2023, $46.8 million in 2024 and $44.6 million in 2025.
For our 2020 annual evaluation, we performed a qualitative test for our Architecture & Software and our Control Products & Solutions (excluding Sensia) reporting units. We performed a quantitative test for our Sensia reporting unit. Based on those evaluations, we concluded these assets were not impaired. We also assessed the changes in events and circumstances subsequent to our annual test, including those related to the COVID-19 pandemic and conditions within the Oil & Gas industry, and concluded that a triggering event which would require interim quantitative testing has not occurred.
