- Code: A list of issues that affect performance, memory usage, Editor iteration times, and other areas related to the code in your project.
- Assets: A list of assets with import settings or file organization that impacts startup times, runtime memory usage, or performance.
-
Shaders: Lists shaders, shaderA program that runs on the GPU. More info
See in Glossary variants, and Materials that exist in the project and any compiler messages that appeared during the build process. -
Game Objects: Identifies issues with GameObjectsThe fundamental object in Unity scenes, which can represent characters, props, scenery, cameras, waypoints, and more. A GameObject’s functionality is defined by the Components attached to it. More info

See in Glossary or PrefabsAn asset type that allows you to store a GameObject complete with components and properties. The prefab acts as a template from which you can create new object instances in the scene. More info
See in Glossary. - Project: A list of problems that might affect performance, memory, and other areas related to the settings in your project.

To open Project Auditor, go to Window > Analysis > Project Auditor. The Project Auditor displays the Welcome view where you can configure the analysis and install or update the Project Auditor Rules package. For more information, refer to Analyze your project.
Note: If you’re using a version of Unity older than 6.4, then you must install Project Auditor through the Package Manager window. For more information, refer to Project Auditor package documentation.
By default, Project Auditor performs a full analysis of your project with the target analysis platform set to the same build target in the Build Settings window. Code analysis runs on the main player assemblies. You can adjust the default settings in the Preferences window.
