[Infovis] InfoVis tools survey: what factors affect you when selecting a software

Tue Feb 5 20:46:19 CET 2019

Number of Software tools in Information Visualization is sky rocketing.
End-users have different factors that affect their decision to select a
software tool and how it will meet their requirements.

This questionnaire and Responses will help to thorough understand factors
that affect non-technical people and end users when selecting Information
Visualization software tool. These will be the main input to a new model
that can categorize Information Visualization tools. Consequently, end
users will get list of candidate tools that meet their visualization
requirement.

All questions are direct and clear, though we ask you to try to answer each
of them as best as you can.

This work is under supervision of researchers at the University of Kadir
Has/ Turkey. If you have questions or comments, please contact Mr. Omran
(20151708049 at stu. khas.edu.tr), Dr. Yetkin (fatih.yetkin at khas.edu.tr).

Thanks!
