Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
Project comprehension questions, such as which modified artifacts can affect my work? and how can I identify the developers who should be assigned to a given task? are difficult to answer, require an analysis of the project and its data, are context specific, and cannot always be pre-defined. Current research approaches are restricted to post hoc analyses over software repositories. Very few interactive exploratory tools exist since the large amount of data that need to be analyzed prohibits its exploration at interactive rates. Moreover, such analyses typically require the user to create complex scripts or queries to extract the desired information from data. Here we present Dominoes, a tool for interactive data exploration aimed at end users (i.e., project managers or developers). Dominoes allows users to interact with different types and units of data to investigate project relationships and view intermediate results as charts, tables, and graphs. Additionally, it allows users to save the derived data as well as their exploration paths for later use. In a scenario-based evaluation study, participants achieved a success rate of 86 percent in their explorations, with a mean time of 7.25 minutes for answering a set of (project) exploration questions.
