Bugarium: 3D Interaction for Supporting Large-Scale Bug Repositories Analysis

Big data became problems not just how to analyze and visualize but also how to interact with the data. In software analysis and maintenance, bug tracking system receive feed-backs of the software project users everyday, which means that the data is increasing everyday. A large-scale bug tracking system that contains large amount of information does not give end users an easy way to analyze bug information because it lacks of good interaction system. We present Bugarium that integrate 3D Motion Controller and data driven documents to ease both interaction and visualization on a large-scale bug repository. Bugarium leads to a significant increase in terms of using 3D motion controller to operate big data in software visualization. An user study shows that Bugarium made users satisfied while using it to interact and visualize a large-scale bug tracking system.
