Tool support for the prevention of family violence system (Master of Software Engineering)

Abstract

Family violence is very prevalent in the State of Wisconsin. Family violence is classified into two types of violence: domestic violence or sexual assault. The Prevention of Family Violence System (PFV) was first developed in 2000 by the PKSoftware Company. The system is currently used by ten different agencies throughout the State of Wisconsin to record family violence cases. After long-term use of this application, it was determined that the application needed a renovation. The purpose of this project is to reengineer the PFV system. The new system contains all current functionality as well as new enhancements as specified by the sponsor. In addition, the data for the system was converted from Microsoft Access databases to Microsoft SQL databases and normalized.
