A visualization service generates a graphical representation or visualization of each user's behavior within a network resource, such as a website. In one example, the visualization service provides a dynamic visualization of each user accessing the network resource. Each user is graphically represented in the visualization with an indicium, such as a point or dot. The visualization (and thus, the position of each indicium representing a user) is dynamically updated as each user accesses data files from the network resource and thus, moves from state to state (or page to page) over time. The effect is similar to watching cars move along a complex highway system.

Visualizing object behavior

Example apparatus and methods concern automated testing of a capacitive touch interface (e.g., touch screen). One example apparatus includes probes that extend and retract from the apparatus under programmatic control. The probes produce a capacitive touch response on a capacitive touch interface. The example apparatus includes logics configured to control touch testing of the interface using the probes. A first logic may provide a closed loop vision system for controlling the position of the interface relative to the apparatus. A second logic may calibrate a co-ordinate system associated with the apparatus and a co-ordinate system associated with the interface so that the apparatus may function in the pixel space of the interface being tested. A third logic may control the probes to test the interface by producing a series of touches, multi-touches, or gestures on the interface.
