Synoptic Visualization of the�History of the World

How to do it (maybe)?

  1. collect main articles on civilizations, timelines, and create an aggregated space-time cube
  2. repeat over the globe's surface to create a volume
  3. find a path on the earth's surface to cut the volume
  4. Project data on the cut

Testing Visualizations in a Browser�Advisor: Jean-Daniel Fekete

Visualizations are popular on the Web

  • Developing them is hard
  • Automatic testing is currently impossible to do with graphics and interaction

Goals of the internship:

  • Explore solutions to test visualizations automatically
  • Implement a set of tests, and
  • Apply them to a Web site we develop with Microsoft Research and Univ. of Edinburgh

Testing Visualizations

require("science");

require("../reorder.v1");

​

var vows = require("vows"),

assert = require("assert");

​

var suite = vows.describe("reorder.graph");

​

suite.addBatch({

"graph": {

"simple": function() {

var nodes = [{id: 0}, {id: 1}, {id: 2}],

links = [{source: 0, target: 1}, {source:1, target: 2}];

var graph = reorder.graph(nodes, links)

.init();

assert.equal(graph.nodes().length, 3);

assert.equal(graph.links().length, 2);

assert.deepEqual(graph.edges(0), [links[0]]);

assert.deepEqual(graph.neighbors(0), [nodes[1]]);

assert.deepEqual(graph.neighbors(1), [nodes[0], nodes[2]]);

assert.deepEqual(graph.neighbors(2), [nodes[1]]);

}

}

});

​

  • What to test here?
    • Presence of widgets and graphics?
    • Setting values?
  • Use nightwatch.js

Example test for Google request

module.exports = {

'Demo test Google' :

function (client) {

client

.url('http://www.google.com')

.waitForElementVisible('body', 1000)

.assert.title('Google')

.assert.visible('input[type=text]')

.setValue('input[type=text]',

'rembrandt van rijn')

.waitForElementVisible('button[name=btnG]', 1000)

.click('button[name=btnG]')

.pause(1000)

.assert.containsText('ol#rso li:first-child',

'Rembrandt - Wikipedia')

.end();

}};
