Note

A useful reference of visual tool evaluation. The paper provides 7 scenarios that research can easily follow to conduct the user study.

1. Understand Environments and Work Practices (UWP)
2. Evaluating Visual Data Analysis and Reasoning (VDAR)
3. Evaluating CommunicationThrough Visualization (CTV)
4. Evaluating Collaborative Data Analysis (CDA)
5. Evaluating User Performance (UP)
6. Evaluating User Experience (UE)
7. Evaluating Visualization Algorithm (VA)
