我们提出了一种新的方法，结合可视化的软件体系结构图，如UML类图或组件图，和软件度量定义组的图元素。我们的方法扩展了现有的渲染技术，在系统架构图中的所谓的感兴趣的领域可视化的几个指标，可能有缺失的值，定义重叠的感兴趣的领域。为此，我们使用了一种结合纹理，混合和平滑分散数据点插值的解决方案。我们的新方法简化了视觉相关的分布和离群值的多元度量数据集与系统的结构的任务。我们展示了我们的方法的应用程序组件和类图从现实世界的系统中提取。
We present a new method for the combined visualization of software architecture diagrams, such as UML class diagrams or component diagrams, and software metrics defined on groups of diagram elements. Our method extends an existing rendering technique for the so-called areas of interest in system architecture diagrams to visualize several metrics, possibly having missing values, defined on overlapping areas of interest. For this, we use a solution that combines texturing, blending, and smooth scattered-data point interpolation. Our new method simplifies the task of visually correlating the distribution and outlier values of a multivariate metric dataset with a system's structure. We demonstrate the application of our method on component and class diagrams extracted from real-world systems.
