Abstract : |
In this paper we take a step toward addressing a pressing general problem in the development of data visualization systems--- how to measure their effectiveness. The step we take is to define a model for specifying the generation of test data that can be employed for standardized and quantitative testing of a system's performance. These test data sets, in conjunction with appropriate testing procedures, can provide a basis for certifying the effectiveness of a visualization system and for conducting comparative studies to steer system development., |
