Abstract :
We present a framework for managing large software projects using metrics. The collection and analysis of metrics data serve as a consistent mechanism for risk identification and quality management. The crux of this mechanism is the temporal modeling of metrics data. We present a comprehensive set of temporal operators which serve as the building block for the formal specification of users´ views of risk and quality. The notion of temporal inheritance can be used to define an object oriented query language
