Orienteering Event Registration Software: From Prototype To Web Application

Abstract

This Bachelor's thesis aimed to develop a user-friendly web application for managing orienteering event registration. The application was designed using the hexagonal architecture, which promotes modularity and adaptability. Java was used for the back-end, React for the front-end, and PostgreSQL as the database, and the application was developed in collaboration with the orienteering event organizer Seiklushunt to meet user needs and provide a reliable system. The thesis describes the software development process and real-life testing during an orienteering event. As a result robust and adaptable system suitable for modern orienteering events was created. The thesis also discusses potential future development.
