摘要

加入一个开源项目并不容易。新手通常会经历一个陡峭的学习曲线，处理技术复杂性，缺乏领域知识，以及初学者可用的大量项目信息。本文通过一项对照实验研究了新来者的信息需求以及信息可视化在支持新来者方面的潜在好处。我们的结果表明，当前的OSS环境和开发工具缺乏对新手信息需求的支持，而现有的可视化工具和技术可以提供帮助。我们还讨论了与不当使用代码可视化工具相关的潜在问题和陷阱。

Beyond pretty pictures: Examining the benefits of code visualization for Open Source newcomers

Joining an Open Source project is not easy. Newcomers often experience a steep learning curve dealing with technical complexity, lack of domain knowledge, and the amount of project information available for starters. This paper looks at the information needs of newcomers and the potential benefits of information visualization in supporting newcomers through a controlled experiment. Our results show that current OSS environments and development tools are lacking in support for the information needs of newcomers, and that existing visualization tools and techniques can help. We also discuss the potential problems and pitfalls associated with the inappropriate use of code visualization tools.
