Experiences using Visualization Techniques to Present Requirements, Risks to them, and Options for Risk Mitigation Paper Presentation Authors: Martin S. Feather, Steven L. Conford, James D. Kiper, Tim Menzies CST 294 – Topic: Interactive Graphics & Visual Analytics Presentation by: Rehman chughtai
Introduction • Risk-based decision process to guide development and application of advanced technologies, and for research and technology portfolio planning. • Jet Propulsion Laboratory California Institute of Technology • http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/
Introduction (excerpt from Abstract) “…The process is supported by custom software, in which visualizationplays an important role. During requirements gathering, visualization is used to help scrutinize the status (completeness, extent) of the information. During decision making based on the gathered information, visualization is used to help decision makers understand the space of options and their consequences. In this paper we summarize the visualization capabilities that we have employed, indicating when and how they have proven useful”.[Feather et al.]

Figure 3. Treemap display of requirements Proportion attained of 1.0 Size represents relative importance Color represents attainment status Proportion attained of 0.0
Figure 5. Comparing two designs' risks Where risk has increased Comparison to Figure 1 Where risk has decreased
Figure 6. Kiviat chart of several designs' risks Each color represents a different design
Figure 7. Cost-benefit tradespace chart Each point in cloud is a solution. About 300,000 solutions
Figure 8. Neighborhood of interest About 3000 solutions
Figure 9. Convergence as iterations identifykey decisions Several iterations between DDP tool and the treatment learning tool High benefit

Figure 13. Visualization of clusters ofsolutions “… white (cell)means not involved in any of the solutions within that cluster; black (cell)means involved in all the solutions within that cluster, and intermediate shades of grey denote intermediate levels of involvement.” Each column represents a cluster of mitigations – a solution
