The TICS framework solution contains a web-enabled viewer that presents data from the TICS quality database. The viewer combines several functions: historical trends, module comparisons, absolute or relative (i.e. per lines of code) views, organizational or hierarchical views, and annotated source code. The pictures below are screenshots from TIOBE's TICS framework. The first picture gives an overview of violations of the top level with all its submodules.
The following picture shows the same modules but in relative hierarchical view per level, i.e. violations per 1000 lines of code per level.
The same information as in the previous picture can also be shown in a bar diagram (see below).
Trend information can be depicted in several ways. The picture below shows the changes in violations for a complete code archive varying over time differentiated for the 7 levels of violation severity that are discriminated.
It is possible to drill down to file level. Below is a picture of the "violation coverage". This is the percentage of files that could be checked. The red cross indicates that a file could not be checked. By hovering over the red cross the reason for failure is given as well.
Clicking on a file icon will show the source of the file that has been uploaded to the webserver including its annotated source code. A line is coloured red in case it does not adheres to the coding standard.
