Jinsight is a tool for visualizing and analyzing the execution of Java programs, as shown in the figure below. For example, developers can view threads running simultaneously to identify the source of problems. Since it is for complex systems, you see little colored lines that are difficult to understand by novices. But, as he said, developers learn quickly to be like doctors reading cardiograms.
The web services navigator, an Eclipse/RAD plug-in for interactive visualization of web service transactions, called my attention because it can also be used to link business logic with technology. Business analysts can view a topology of services and identify what was wrong. For me, this is especially interesting because I want to know how business analysts adapt to the IT world. How do they understand IT-driven visualizations?
Streamsight is a tool for visualization of streaming data that provides dependency analysis in which by clicking on one element, it is possible to know the other elements that are directly connected to it. This is particularly important to analyze and track elements of complex systems.
Visualization is an effective way to communicate a message and it is useful to transfer information between people and to create new knowledge. This is essential for the interaction of different groups in the analysis of constantly changing information.
My work also needs visualization since I am analyzing how to visually track changes from business processes to UIs. His lecture was very insightful for me in the search for innovative forms of visualization.
