Abstract

Case studies contain valuable information about development records. They are, however, usually presented as textual documents. Here we begin an initial design for viewing case study data. A prototype for viewing case study data is created using information visualization techniques for the purpose of testing against existing techniques. The evaluations show that the new design is just as usable as existing techniques, making it suitable for future development. Future work may show our design can accomplish tasks both faster and more efficiently.
