Challenge Overview
Project Overview
The entire system is a tool suite that
• Collects data as answers to questions (grouped into surveys),
• Evaluates metrics for respondents based on submitted data/answers,
• Categorizes respondents into peer groups based on submitted data or computed metric values,
• Computes statistical data and
• Generates various reports (in MS Excel and PowerPoint).
The main component is a Visual Basic 6 application that controls the data processing and reporting part. It also provides direct data import from MS Excel files into DB2.
The scope of this project is to re-implement this data processing and reporting (DPR) component using Java based technologies.
