At our World Summit QtWS23, Rainer Koschke gave a speech on how software visualization can enhance productivity in distributed software development teams. Koschke asserts that software development is a collaborative process involving people-to-people communication. In the geographically dispersed team settings, we have used more remote team tools, but usually, only one person controls the content and visuals being shared on the screen. Other team members can only offer different angles for viewing if seeking permission from the presenter. Moreover, the video titles showing participants' faces are entirely disconnected from the content presented. Koschke's research team aims to overcome this challenge with software visualization, a future visionary approach that responds to ongoing trends and needs in software engineering.

​在我们的世界峰会QtWS23上，Rainer Koschke就软件可视化如何提高分布式软件开发团队的生产力发表了演讲。Koschke断言，软件开发是一个涉及人与人之间交流的协作过程。在地理位置分散的团队环境中，我们使用了更多的远程团队工具，但通常只有一个人控制屏幕上共享的内容和视觉效果。如果寻求演示者的许可，其他团队成员只能提供不同的观看角度。此外，显示参与者面部的视频标题与呈现的内容完全脱节。Koschke的研究团队旨在通过软件可视化来克服这一挑战，这是一种未来有远见的方法，可以应对软件工程中的持续趋势和需求。

Software visualization for communication complex software projects

通信复杂软件项目的软件可视化

Software visualization involves creating visual representations of software to understand better and communicate complex software projects. According to Koschke, software visualization responds to the challenge of evaluating software quality. Software quality is a multifactor concept where one cannot have one single metric to provide all the answers. You would have to look at many variables, and zooming in too closely to the details may make you lose sight of the big picture.

软件可视化包括创建软件的可视化表示，以更好地理解和交流复杂的软件项目。根据Koschke的说法，软件可视化是为了应对评估软件质量的挑战。软件质量是一个多因素的概念，不可能有一个单一的指标来提供所有的答案。必须观察许多变量，过于靠近细节可能会让你看不到大局。

Koschke's vision of overcoming these challenges materializes in a research project where they create virtual rooms for distributed team members to examine their software and its quality. Based on the popular code-city metaphor, the project visualizes the architecture and implementation at an abstraction level suitable for stakeholders from different domains. In this setting, the participants are also parts of the scenery as avatars, and they can interact and look from different angles of the visualization and interact with other participants. Software visualization is not limited to a distributed context but can also be used for participants in the same room, with visualizations presented on a monitor screen.

Koschke克服这些挑战的愿景体现在一个研究项目中，他们为分布式团队成员创建虚拟房间，以检查他们的软件及其质量。基于流行的代码城市隐喻，该项目在适合不同领域利益相关者的抽象级别上可视化架构和实现。在这种设置中，参与者也是场景的一部分，作为化身，他们可以从可视化的不同角度进行互动和观看，并与其他参与者进行互动。软件可视化不仅限于分布式上下文，还可以用于同一房间的参与者，可视化显示在监视器屏幕上。

Benefits of software visualization

软件可视化的好处

In his talk, Koschke outlined several benefits of software visualization:

在他的演讲中，Koschke概述了软件可视化的几个好处：

1.Software visualization can help team members better understand the structure and dependencies of complex software systems, making it easier to identify potential issues and ensure that the final product meets quality standards.

1.软件可视化可以帮助团队成员更好地了解复杂软件系统的结构和依赖关系，从而更容易识别潜在问题并确保最终产品符合质量标准。

2.Visual representations of software can improve communication and collaboration among team members. Team members can more easily discuss and share ideas, leading to increased productivity and better quality assurance.

​2.软件的可视化表示可以改善团队成员之间的沟通和协作。团队成员可以更容易地讨论和分享想法，从而提高生产力和更好的质量保证。

3.Software visualization can verify software architecture, follow the evolution of systems, identify code duplication, and check if any components do not match the namespace.

3.软件可视化可以验证软件架构，跟踪系统的演变，识别代码重复，并检查是否有任何组件与命名空间不匹配。
