Abstract :
This report comprises some experiences, which were made during the development of a point of sale (POS) system. Specific about the project is the fact that it started as an attempt to develop customizable standard software, and then was restructured to deliver a unique project solution. This report details the situation before and after the restructuring, and discusses the experiences made through the ongoing development. These experiences relate mostly to three areas, which are: software project management, prototyping, and testing.
