Creating reports

You can create code review reports in HTML and XML formats that can be viewed independently from the applications in which they are created, and stored in any location. The reports contain summaries of code review findings as they appear in the Code Review view. The reports provide an overview of the condition of your source code by showing the percentages of code with findings, broken down by severity level, and the code that is clear of findings. You can filter the files on which to display results in the reports, so that you can narrow the scope of the report or focus it on a particular aspect of code compliance. You can also sort or filter the findings in the Code Review view prior to creating the reports, so that, for example, findings that were ignored do not display. See the related task topics for working with the Code Review view and for filtering files to analyze for reports.

Before you can create a code review report, you must have a workspace with Java™ source code in it and run a code review on the workspace using the graphical user interface.
Note: Before creating any code review reports, you must install the Adobe SVG Viewer plug-in to view all the information in the reports.
To create code review reports:
  1. Run a code review on Java source code.
  2. Optionally, filter the files on which to display results in the reports.
  3. Export the findings to a report format and location that you specify.
Note: Files that did not produce any findings in the code review are also included in the reports.
