In software maintenance teams appraisers discern the need to scrutinize underpinning factors involved in performance appraisal to justify it. However challenge lies in visually demonstrating distinguished performance based on performance metrics or Key Performance Indicators (KPI) taking into account the complex interplay of environmental factors. In this work, we try to address the above-mentioned requisites of appraisers by visual presentation. 'SamikshaViz' extends the idea proposed in 'Samiksa'. 'Samiksha' is a framework for contribution and performance assessment of software maintenance professionals by mining software repositories. 'Samiksha' proposes 11 role-based contribution and performance assessment metrics and demonstrate the results on real-world data of Google Chromium Issue Tracking System. The requirement gathering of factors influencing performance is based on survey conducted on experienced software maintenance professionals with more than a decade of experience.
