Measuring applications is a challenge and one of the goal of the Squale project is to propose a sound quality model. Now presenting the results of such analysis is also a challenge since it is complex to output and present to the user for the following rea- sons: first a lot of data should be presented and at different audience. Second displaying information is one aspect another one is navigating the information. Finally it is im- portant not to overwhelm the users with too much visualizations. This workpackage presents a state of the art in terms of software visualization approaches that are specif- ically designed to display metrics. In addition it sets up the context for the application of such visualization to practices.
