“…A lot of data visualisation techniques and tools were designed and implemented in software engineering research and practice. It exceeds the purpose of this article to exhaustedly evaluate these techniques and tools, but in our opinion traditional visualisation tools like Rigi [12], sv3D [7] and SHriMP Views [9] are built on innovative ideas but often it is difficult to interact with them, and they usually fall behind in terms of graphics from today's computer games, for instance.…”

Data visualisation with high expressive power plays an important role in code comprehension. Recent visualisation tools try to fulfill the expectations of the users and use various analogies. For example, in an architectural metaphor, each class is represented by a building. Buildings are grouped into districts according to the structure of the namespaces. We think that these unique ways of code representation have great potential, but in our opinion they use very simple graphical techniques (shapes, figures, low resolution) to visualise the structure of the source code. On the other hand, computer games use high quality graphic and have high expressive power. A good example is Minecraft, a popular role playing game that supports both high definition, photo-realistic textures and long range 3D scene displaying. Additionally, it provides great extensibility and interactivity for third party software. In this paper, we introduce our mission to create a virtual world of source code in which developers and other stakeholders could explore and evaluate their project collaboratively in a virtual Minecraft world. Code properties are represented by graphical primitives offered by the game engine, and various interactivity features are planned. Besides challenges of the implementation there are some fundamental research issues considering the selection of a set of visual elements and mapping to source code properties. These elements have to be compatible not only with the visualisation and with the data model but also with the thinking of developers.

With the emergence of tools for collaborative ontology engineering, more and more data about the creation process behind collaborative construction of ontologies is becoming available. Today, collaborative ontology engineering tools such as Collaborative Protégé offer rich and structured logs of changes, thereby opening up new challenges and opportunities to study and analyze the creation of collaboratively constructed ontologies. While there exists a plethora of visualization tools for ontologies, they have primarily been built to visualize aspects of the final product (the ontology) and not the collaborative processes behind construction (e.g. the changes made by contributors over time). To the best of our knowledge, there exists no ontology visualization tool today that focuses primarily on visualizing the history behind collaboratively constructed ontologies. Since the ontology engineering processes can influence the quality of the final ontology, we believe that visualizing process data represents an important stepping-stone towards better understanding of managing the collaborative construction of ontologies in the future. In this application paper, we present a tool – PragmatiX – which taps into structured change logs provided by tools such as Collaborative Protégé to visualize various pragmatic aspects of collaborative ontology engineering. The tool is aimed at managers and leaders of collaborative ontology engineering projects to help them in monitoring progress, in exploring issues and problems, and in tracking quality-related issues such as overrides and coordination among contributors. The paper makes the following contributions: (i) we present PragmatiX, a tool for visualizing the creation process behind collaboratively constructed ontologies (ii) we illustrate the functionality and generality of the tool by applying it to structured logs of changes of two large collaborative ontology-engineering projects and (iii) we conduct a heuristic evaluation of the tool with domain experts to uncover early design challenges and opportunities for improvement. Finally, we hope that this work sparks a new line of research on visualization tools for collaborative ontology engineering projects.

E dolgozat fő eredményei kapcsolódnak a részben vagy egészben automatizált program elemzéshez és a fejlesztési folyamatokhoz. A célom az volt, hogy hasznos eszközökkel, módszerekkel és technológiákkal segítsem a különböző szoftverfejlesztéssel foglalkozó szakemberek munkáját. A téziseimet három nagy csoportra osztottam: "A szoftverfejlesztői csapatok produktivitásának mérése és előrejelzése"; "Izgalmas és magával ragadó szoftver és teszt vizualizációs technikák biztosítása"; és "Figyelmet érdemlő helyek azonosítása a csomaghierarchiában lefedettségi adatok alapján"
