Title says mainly the problem. On my spare time for our group at school, I’ve written something to parse our p4 submissions and the files associated with each changelist.
I’ve then created a tree structure and each file has a list of all the changelists and ones that pertain to bugs associated with them.
I’m looking for awesome ideas on meaningful ways to display the data.
Currently I’ve thought of:
- Pie chart of files with largest changelists (display only those past a certain threshold)
- Histogram
The problem is tons of files have only 1-2 submissions….
Is there even a great way of showing this data?
Take a look at code_swarm: Organic software visualization of project repositories. This is a great way to visualize repository changes over time in a very intuitive and appealing way. I have created videos for perforce projects with about 13000 changelists including more than 2 million file changes.
