Audits Pane

Go Up to GUI of Audits and Metrics

QA Audits dialog box > Start

The Audits pane displays the table showing the results of Audits processed in a Delphi project. To open the Audits pane, open the QA Audits dialog box and click the Start button. As Audits processing completes, the Audits pane opens automatically.

The table of results of Audits displays the obtained violations of processed Audits. Use the Audits pane to view and export results of Audits.

Each time you process Audits for the same project, the obtained results of Audits are displayed in this pane in the new tabbed page. The page with the most recently obtained results of Audits is active.
