'''Software visualization''' (Diehl, 2002; Knight, 2002) is concerned with the static or animated 2-D or 3-D (Marcus et al., 2003) visual representation of information about software systems based on their structure (Staples & Bieman, 1999), size (Lanza, 2004), history (Girba et al, 2005, Lopez et al., 2004; Van Rysselberghe et al., 2004), or behavior (Kuhn et al., 2006, Stasko et al., 1997). Typically, the information used for [[visualization]] is [[software metric]] data from measurement activities. Visualization is inherently not a method for [[software quality assurance]] but can be used to manually discover anomalies similar to the process of [[visual data mining]] (Keim, 2002; Soukup, 2002).
