With the increasing complexity of a checklist, its processing can sometimes become very time-consuming. The RayQC plug-in interface is designed to provide a way to automate and streamline checklist evaluation procedures in order to avoid issues such as missing test standards, handling errors, and time constraints.
Plug-ins are capsuled, reusable logic units, accessible from RayQC checklists by direct function calls including required in- and output parameters. plug-in parameters can be derived from and injected into element results, which even allows to build conditional statements for checklist workflow control depending on plug-in execution results.
Therefore, advanced users of RayQC will in any case have to deal with plug-ins, understand how they are designed and integrated, know how to utilize internal ones, and finally be capable of creating new, external plug-ins for custom testing purposes.
The following sections are separated into logical units to provide insight into the RayQC plug-in technology from different angles:
•Documentation of built-in RayQC plug-ins
•Requirements for custom plug-in preparation
•Additional information is provided within the Appendices of this document
•Troubleshooting advice for plug-in usage
