## Viewing Reports

CodeScanner produces HTML and/or XML output, which is located in the specified Reports directory as configured in the CodeScanner > General preference panel.

CodeScanner produces:

- A list of the tests that CodeScanner performs and the number of times each test has detected an issue in the source code scanned. Issues are grouped into categories for easier identification and reading.
- A statistical summary of the results of the tests run and issues found. This is a CSV file.
- A component analysis - a list of components and the number of issues found in each. To view the component analysis, from the index.html page, select the hyperlink Component Analysis. To select detailed information on the issues in a component, select the hyperlink of the component name
- A means to hyperlink to source code cross-referencing tools, such as LXR

NOTE LXR is an open source code index and cross-referencing tool that provides web-based browsing of source code with links to the definition and usage of identifiers. It can be found at sourceforge.net/projects/lxr.
