single XSD file, whereas newer versions have multiple files. Nevertheless, extract all XSD files
into an empty folder. After a successful installation of QC4OpenX this folder can be deleted.

# ![Logo Image](doc/manual/images/qc4openx_logo.drawio.png)

QC4OpenX is a framework designed for quality assessment of the ASAM OpenX standards
[OpenDRIVE](https://www.asam.net/standards/detail/opendrive) and
[OpenSCENARIO](https://www.asam.net/standards/detail/openscenario). This quality assessment is done
by so called checkers that are grouped into checker bundles.

The framework can easily be extended with additional checks and checker bundles and users are able
to select which checks will be included in their configuration. Checker bundles are executables, so
it is possible to write checker bundles in any programming language.

All individual checker outputs are collected and merged into a single result file, that can be
evaluated either automatically by parsing the XML output, manually by reading the text output or
interactively using the provided "ReportGUI" module.

The ASAM Quality Checker Framework is designed for quality assessment of the
ASAM standards like
[OpenDRIVE](https://www.asam.net/standards/detail/opendrive),
[OpenSCENARIO](https://www.asam.net/standards/detail/openscenario) and others.
This quality assessment is done by so called checkers that are grouped into
checker libraries.

The framework can easily be extended with additional checker libraries
and users are able to select which checks will be included in their
configuration. Checkers are implemented in checker bundles. These are
executables, so it is possible to write checker bundles in any programming
language.

All individual checker outputs are collected and merged into a single result
file, that can be evaluated either automatically by parsing the XML output,
manually by reading the text output or interactively using the provided
"ReportGUI" module.

# Use Cases

QC4OpenX allows developers to write their own rule sets that go beyond the verification of the
formal correctness by means of the XML Schema files. The formal correctness is only a first step and
not sufficient to assess the quality. Hence more sophisticated quality checks are required.

The framework was designed to support a variety of use cases that require different types of
checkers. Most applications require checkers that evaluate geometries, other physical properties or
the data integrity of the static and dynamic parts of a virtual environment.

Other checkers may be created for statistical evaluation of the input files. This allows users to
ensure the existence of specific objects, such as obstacles or traffic signs that are crucial for
their use-case in the input files.

Additionally, there may be more checks necessary to ensure that the files can be used in a specific
simulation environment, because not all simulation environments support the full feature set of the
standard.

Besides performing static files checks, which read, evaluate and analyze the content, it can also be
feasible to create checkers that run a simulation and analyze the simulation results, since
non-plausible simulation behavior may point to problems in the input files.

# Getting Started

QC4OpenX can be build for Windows and Linux. Currently there are no pre-built binaries available for
the framework. Follow the [build instructions](INSTALL.md) to create a runnable binary on your
machine. [Examples](examples) are provided in this repository.

# How to Contribute

A C++ base library is provided, so users can provide their own user defined modules. Since checker
bundles are executables, it is also possible to write checker bundles in any other programming
language. Check out the [documentation](doc/manual/readme.md) for details on how to extend the
framework and write your own checks. Contributions to the project in the form of code or feedback
are encouraged, please keep in mind the [contribution guidelines](CONTRIBUTING.md).
