The main purpose of the bachelor thesis is to give students the opportunity to test acquired knowledge and skills by immersing themselves in a project related to an information system in a real setting. Students will have the opportunity to plan, estimate, perform, test, follow up and document the project. The development is done by a student group that is given the opportunity to work with quality in process and product, using methods and techniques that promote these elements. Students should also look at the gains/effects of the work, and be able to plan and possibly take measures in order for the value to happen.
