When running on assessment mode, it won't generate any converted code, it will only analyze the input code and generate an assessment report based on information gathered during the execution. The following sections will detail the information given in the reports.

Conversion Rates report, Library Element report and UI Library Element report are the expected files to be generated after the application executes the analysis, you can find these reports (.csv files) in your output location at the folder named as Reports.

NotSupported_Ocurrences: indicates the number of occurrences of the node that were not converted.
NotSupported_CharCount: indicates the number of chars from a c# node that were not converted.
Failed_Ocurrences: indicates the number of occurrences of the node that failed at the conversion due an unexpected event.
