Context

Part of my day-to-day work is analysing ITSM ticket data exported from ServiceNow. Every review cycle started the same way: open the export in Excel, manually check for missing dates, contradictory statuses, and garbled fields. The files routinely hit 100k–300k rows — large enough that Excel hangs, filters break, and silent data errors slip through unnoticed. I got tired of the manual sanity checks failing me, so I built a tool to do them properly. TicketAudit is the open-source replication of that internal tool.

Product Overview

TicketAudit is a free, offline PySide6 desktop application that audits ticket exports at scale and produces a structured Excel report:

  • Column Mapping: Three-tier scoring (exact match, word-boundary, value-pattern) to automatically align source columns to the expected schema.
  • Date Disambiguation: Detects DD/MM vs MM/DD field ordering across the dataset, avoiding silent misparses.
  • Null Analysis: Configurable thresholds flag columns and rows with excessive missing data.
  • 8 Logic Rules: Detects contradictions — open tickets with resolution dates, closed tickets without them, future dates, state vocabulary mismatches, and more.
TicketAudit logic checks screen showing eight validation rules with pass, fail, and review statuses
Logic checks flagging contradictions across the dataset — worst findings surfaced first.
  • Language Detection: Identifies language across 33 languages using the Lingua ML model, surfacing unexpected language in description fields.
TicketAudit language detection results showing confidence scores across 33 languages
Language detection with confidence scoring — flags unexpected languages in ticket descriptions.
  • Description Quality Scoring: Rates ticket descriptions for completeness and usefulness.
  • Excel Report Export: Six-tab workbook with PivotTables, charts, and per-ticket QA flags — ready to hand to a manager or attach to a process review.
  • Guided Review Mode (Ctrl+R): Walks through flagged tickets one at a time for efficient triage.
