Abstract
This bachelor thesis is about the interactive visualization of complex state diagrams for optimal developer experience. Various results of existing work will be outlined and then applied in the practical part. Different interaction methods in connection with statecharts are examined and evaluated. This includes the use of the motion parallax effect, which tracks the user’s head position to create a better 3D effect. Animations to better highlight informations of the statechart were also tested. These are among others an outlining effect and a frames effect which highlight certain relations in the state diagram and thus make them easier to understand. Also an experiment to visualize the execution of a statechart was performed and analyzed. The work concludes that there is probably a great potential in the interactive visualization of complex state diagrams, but it needs to be further investigated.
