out of the qualitative study presented in Section 6.
Further, we will extend the representation of met-
rics, including the display of non-quantitative metrics,
the explicit rendering of the distribution of values for
each metric, and the possibility to filter specific value
ranges for a cleaner visualization. The user will have
the possibility to pick pairs of dates on the timeline,
in order to compare related metric values looking for
potential drops or improvements in performance.
