Abstract

In the making of this Bachelor's thesis, a web application was developed, which gives the option to software development companies to record their software development method. The web application enables recording of projects and all of their important elements, like disciplines and their editing during the following software development. It also gives the option of drawing the project method with two diagrams. The meaning of using a method to develop software is described in the first part of the thesis. It also describes some well known methods, developed through the years. It goes on with a detailed description of the web application making process. We begin with the specification, of how the application should look and what options it should give it's users. There are also descriptions of the tools, used during development, from the database management system (DBMS) MySQL, to the integrated development environment (IDE) NetBeans, it's tools and libraries. The database model, made during the development of this thesis is also shown and described. In the last part we have a description of how the web application works through a use case, which uses data, a real software company could insert in the system.
