Although many tools have been presented in the research literature of software visualization, there is little evidence of their adoption. To choose a suitable visualization tool, practitioners need to analyze various characteristics of…

Variability management (VM) in software product line engineering (SPLE) is introduced as an abstraction that enables the reuse and customization of assets. VM is a complex task involving the identification, representation, and instantiation…

Software Product Lines are large-scale, multi-unit systems that enable massive, customized production. They consist of a base of reusable artifacts and points of variation that provide the system with flexibility, allowing generating…

Migrating a set of software variants into a software product line (SPL) is an expensive and potentially challenging endeavor. Indeed, SPL engineering can significantly impact a company's development process and often requires changes to…

Providing system-generated explanations for recommendations represents an important step towards transparent and trustworthy recommender systems. Explainable recommender systems provide a human-understandable rationale for their outputs.…

Companies developing Web applications have faced an increasing demand for high-quality products with low cost and production time ever smaller. However, developing such applications is still considered a time-consuming and error-prone task,…

For e-commerce companies with large product selections, the organization and grouping of products in meaningful ways is important for creating great customer shopping experiences and cultivating an authoritative brand image. One important…

Data visualization should be accessible for all analysts with data, not just the few with technical expertise. Visualization recommender systems aim to lower the barrier to exploring basic visualizations by automatically generating results…

Software testing is a fundamental process of software development, and prior work has shown that visualizations of test results support testers' decision-making. However, Human-Computer Interaction research on software testing has yet to…

Visualisation is an effective way to facilitate the analysis and understanding of multivariate data. In the context of multi-objective optimisation, comparing to quantitative performance metrics, visualisation is, in principle, able to…
