MaVis: Feature-Based Defects Visualization in Software Testing

Software testing is a significant investigation during software development, which is conducted to produce information about the quality of the product or service under test. An automatic visualization tool will greatly improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the analysis of testing results. Current visualization tools focus on defects location and version maintenance, but lack of consideration of visualizing system features, version management and visualizing analytical data. In this paper, we propose MaVis, which is a novel visualization tool to help testers easily and quickly understand and locate defects in system features.

I. Introduction

Visualization is very important in software testing. Since software testing is a long-term and complex process probably with huge result collection, visible results will provide testers with a quick and general perspective, which leads to a better understanding to the correlation of the test
