Abstract
A visualization of nightly regression test results provides rapid
feedback, and may aid in making decisions on software projects.
However, visualizing test results from sparse and distributed nightly
regression testing is non-trivial. We have conducted a structured
literature review focusing on how heatmaps are best used for software
test data visualization. By identifying existing studies, we have
discovered how stakeholders use the visualizations, how they are
valuable, the approaches used for plotting and the proposed future
research. The review identified four papers that describe
visualizations that target managers, experts, testers and code
maintainers. The visualizations are used for making decisions, giving
support, or provide early warnings. Typically the source code of the
software under test is an important part of the plots.
