This paper introduces an innovative visualisation technique for exposing the software defects that develop as a software project evolves. The application of this technique to a large-scale industrial software project is described together with the way in which the technique was modified to enable integration with the software configuration management process. The paper shows how a number of forces acting on the project can be equated to changes in the visualisations and how this can be used as a measure of the quality of the software.
