Qualitative synthesis refers to qualitative methods used to integrate empirical evidence from primary studies. It aims to build knowledge about the impact and preconditions of software technologies. The thesis introduces a reliable and valid instrument for evaluating qualitative syntheses; an evaluation of the most mature qualitative synthesis methods, meta-ethnography and thematic analysis; and enhanced guidelines for applying them.
