InteractionCity: Re-discovering system context knowledgeusing interaction data

Abstract

Context knowledge of a system can be not available at all, when it is available its often undocumented and has a low bus factor. In order to recreate such context knowledge, we propose a new visualization technique InteractionCity. This work uses the techniques proposedin Visual Analytics as a basis for the knowledge obtaining process and builds on the work of ArchitectureCity [25].The technique only uses execution data to visualize both the static and dynamic parts of the system. The execution
