RAPIDCharts
Sriram Baskaran, Manoj M. Apte · 2014
Visualization of the raw data into meaningful information is necessary for the proper understanding of the concepts at hand. Many real life scenarios require visualization of data as a statistical chart. Creation of such charts with dynamic data brings in challenges like impact at different levels in the code, redundancy of the code and restarts of servers every time a new build is released. In this paper, we have studied the issues with the conventional way of development and proposed a framework for charts by giving specifications in a separate eXtensible Markup Language (XML) file called Single File Specification System (SFS) and automating the process of creation of the charts and tables. We present RAPIDCharts, a framework that will reduce the impact of change or addition of new charts, redundancy of code and server restarts using an external file where the specifications are mentioned.
