Software development is constantly evolving. This produces a lot of opportunities, but also confusion about what the best practices are. A rather unexplored area within software development is visual analytics for software testing. The goal of this thesis is to get an understanding of what role visual analytics can have within software testing. In this thesis, a literature review was used to gather information about analytical needs, tools, and other vital information about the subject. A survey towards practitioners was used to get information about the industry, the survey had questions about visual analytics, visualizations, and their potential roles. We conclude that visual analytics of software testing results does have a role in software testing, mainly in a faster understanding of test results, the ability to produce big picture overviews, and supporting decision making.
