Evaluating a checklist project means to open a checklist template with the Checklist Viewer and execute the test steps one after another. To save the evaluation results beyond the current work session, it is required to save the checklist as a project file (.rqcp). This is automatically done if the standard command Save is used.
To Evaluate a Checklist Project
1.Launch RayQC, or - if it is already up and running - navigate to the dashboard.
2.Click the open checklist tile to load an existing checklist template.
As an alternative, use the open project tile to go on with the evaluation procedure for an already existing project.
3.Select the required template or project file from the file system, using the system browser dialog displayed after clicking one of the tiles mentioned above.

Note: If the checklist evaluation is triggered by a RayQC tool integration in RayFlow, the first three steps are obsolete, since they will be triggered automatically by RayFlow. |
4.The file is immediately opened for evaluation within the Checklist Viewer interface.
5.Walk through the test steps one by one and note the results to make sure the sequence of result provision is kept as demanded by the checklist structure.
6.The type of result information required to complete a test item result depends on the item type:
a)Information items do not require any user feedback at all. They are designed to provide information, e.g., about the test scenario or environment requirements.
b)Data Field items expect a textual execution result to be documented. Simply enter the result into the text input field provided below the step description.
c)Checkpoint items expect a boolean Yes or No result information. The answer that is defined as the expected, correct test result, is displayed in a bold font color. If neither Yes nor No is bolded, the result of this test item is not used for the overall calculation of the checklist result.
d)Multi-option items require selecting one of the offered result options.
7.Double-check the results provided for checkpoint and multi-option items, since they are common references for dynamic checklist content control. The correct checklist procedure may very well be determined by the results defined for these types. Therefore, it is of high importance to give the correct results during the first checklist run, since later corrections may lead to additional result update measures.
8.Take a look at the icons presented within the definition of the single test steps:
a)If a question mark icon is shown: Click it to read the additional information provided within the linked help file.
b)If an arrow icon is shown: Click it to run the plug-in that has been attached to the checklist element
9.Make sure that all status indicator boxes from the task bar are displayed with a zero in the upper left corner and a green background color. If any of these boxes looks different, there are still missing test results and the overall checklist result will be NOT FINISHED. The checklist evaluation is complete when the status ribbon at the right-hand side of the task bar displays either PASSED or FAILED.
10.Save the result of your work in order to keep the current checklist result permanently. To do so, select one of the options available from the File menu:
a)Option Save: Saves the changes to the currently opened RayQC project file
b)Option Save as: Allows to save the changes in a newly created project file or to overwrite any existing project file.
c)RayFlow - Upload Report: Creates the report and uploads it to the RayFlow server
d)RayFlow - Update data fields: Based upon the post-processing configuration, the Update data fields button updates the relevant data fields in the RayFlow project
11. Depending on the demanded test reporting and RayFlow connection, it may be required to generate a checklist project report for local storage or transfer to RayFlow.
a)To generate a report for local storage: Open the File menu and select Export. The displayed dialog requires the target format (either HTML, DOCX, or PDF) and a selection of the template for the profile. Click Export and select the path and the file name. Click on Save to create the report.
To create or change a report profile, go to Settings > Report Profiles.
b)To generate a report for RayFlow storage: Open the file menu and click on RayFlow. In the displayed dialog click on the tile that is labeled with Upload Report. After pressing the button a dialog opens to enter the file name (no file extension needed). Uploading of the report to RayFlow will use the active report profile from the settings screen for the report generation. The file name suggestion for report creation is based on the checklist property File name pattern.
