Working With RayQC Advanced > Typical Workflows

Working with RayQC Advanced is basically divided into four main areas of activity: The library, the test wizard, the rules catalog, and the report archive. Therefore, the main workflows are bound to these core tasks:

1.Importing resources into the library
In order to get your system ready for usage, it is recommended to import resources into your library first. Even though tests may be performed on temporarily available software packages, it makes sense to import applications that will be a permanent part of the software library into the database.

2.Performing tests
Once resources are present, it is possible to perform tests on them. Testing may either be triggered from the Home Screen, or directly from the library.
