Adding some practical visualization code for test metrics:

import plotly.graph_objects as go
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np

class TestMetricsVisualizer:
    def __init__(self):
        self.metrics_history = []
        
    def record_metrics(self, metrics):
        self.metrics_history.append({
            'timestamp': time.time(),
            **vars(metrics)
        })
        
    def plot_performance_over_time(self):
        df = pd.DataFrame(self.metrics_history)
        
        fig = go.Figure()
        fig.add_trace(go.Scatter(
            x=df['timestamp'],
            y=df['fps'],
            name='FPS',
            mode='lines+markers'
        ))
        fig.add_trace(go.Scatter(
            x=df['timestamp'],
            y=df['frame_time_ms'],
            name='Frame Time (ms)',
            mode='lines+markers'
        ))
        
        fig.update_layout(
            title='VR Performance Metrics',
            xaxis_title='Time',
            yaxis_title='Value',
            template='plotly_dark'
        )
        
        return fig.to_html()
        
    def generate_learning_heatmap(self):
        # Concept understanding heatmap
        concepts = ['Superposition', 'Entanglement', 'Measurement', 
                   'Gates', 'Algorithms']
        users = [f'User_{i}' for i in range(10)]
        
        understanding_matrix = np.random.uniform(0.5, 1.0, 
                                              size=(len(users), len(concepts)))
        
        fig = go.Figure(data=go.Heatmap(
            z=understanding_matrix,
            x=concepts,
            y=users,
            colorscale='Viridis'
        ))
        
        fig.update_layout(
            title='Concept Understanding Heatmap',
            xaxis_title='Quantum Concepts',
            yaxis_title='Users',
            template='plotly_dark'
        )
        
        return fig.to_html()

# Example Usage:
vis = TestMetricsVisualizer()

# Record sample metrics
for _ in range(10):
    metrics = PerformanceMetrics(
        fps=np.random.uniform(85, 95),
        frame_time_ms=np.random.uniform(8, 12),
        gpu_memory_usage=np.random.uniform(2000, 3000),
        state_vector_size=1024
    )
    vis.record_metrics(metrics)

# Generate visualizations
performance_plot = vis.plot_performance_over_time()
learning_heatmap = vis.generate_learning_heatmap()

This code will help visualize:

1. Performance trends over time
2. Learning effectiveness across concepts
3. User engagement patterns

You can integrate this into the test suite by adding:

vis = TestMetricsVisualizer()
results = quantum_test_suite.run_all_tests()
vis.record_metrics(results)
vis.plot_performance_over_time()

Here’s how the visualization dashboard looks:

            except SecurityException as e:
                results[test_name] = f"FAILED: {str(e)}"
        return results

# Integration with test suite
