CFB: A Call for Benchmarks - for Software Visualization.
Jonathan I. Maletic, Andrian Marcus · 2003
The paper argues for the need of a benchmark, or suite of benchmarks, to exercise and evaluate software visualization methods, tools, and research. The intent of the benchmark(s) must be to further and motivate research in the field of using visualization methods to support understanding and analysis of real world and/or large scale software systems undergoing development or evolution. The paper points to other software engineering sub-fields that have recently benefited from benchmarks and explains how these examples can assist in the development of a benchmark for software visualization. 1
