Describing Your Own Work (cont)

For a DEV thesis:

• summarize the system requirements   (cf. Background)
• describe design/implementation   (what exactly did you do?)
• justify your choice of methods   (why did you do it this way?)
  • platform, architecture, algorithms, data structures, ...
• outline alternatives that were rejected

In all of the above, follow an established software engineering methodology.

For an interactive system, adding a tour of the interface is very useful to give readers a feeling for what you've done.
