It's really hard to design products by focus groups. A lot of times, people don't know what they want until you show it to them.

Zeckzer, Dirk (2010): Visualizing software entities using a matrix layout. In: Proceedings of the ACM Symposium on Software Visualization 2010. pp. 207-208.

Understanding legacy systems is one of the major tasks in software engineering. The relations between different entities, e.g., packages and classes in Java, are important for this understanding process. We propose a matrix based visualization of the relations between these software entities. We explore several design decisions and show what works and what does not work.

Knodel, Jens, Muthig, Dirk, Naab, Matthias and Zeckzer, Dirk (2006): Towards empirically validated software architecture visualization. In: Proceedings of the ACM Symposium on Software Visualization 2006. pp. 187-188.

Visualization is a sound means to facilitate understanding of complex correlations and offers a broad variety of concepts. A problem with the visualization of software architectures is that there are almost no empirical evidences of the benefits of particular visualization concepts. That is why we introduce an approach that explicitly integrates architecture development with the selection, use and validation of visualization metaphors. We successfully applied this approach to realize our software architecture visualization tool and empirically validated the use of the visualization concepts in the software architecture domain. We claim that software architecture visualizations should always be thoroughly assessed, especially by software architects in an industrial environment.
