This project implements the OTX Checker Bundle for the ASAM Quality Checker project.

The ASAM Quality Checker OTX library contains a short representative list of check examples for Open Test sequence eXchange (OTX) to showcase the functionality and implementation (it shall not be a reference implementation) for the ASAM Quality Checker project.

Installation and usage

asam-qc-otx can be installed using pip or from source.

Installation using pip

asam-qc-otx can be installed using pip.

From PyPi repository

pip install asam-qc-otx

From GitHub repository

pip install asam-qc-otx@git+https://github.com/asam-ev/qc-otx@main

The above command will install asam-qc-otx from the main branch. If you want to install asam-qc-otx from another branch or tag, replace @main with the desired branch or tag.

From a local repository

pip install /home/user/qc-otx

To run the application:

qc_otx --help
usage: QC OTX Checker [-h] (-d | -c CONFIG_PATH)
This is a collection of scripts for checking validity of Open Test sequence eXchange format (.otx) files.
options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -d, --default_config
  -c CONFIG_PATH, --config_path CONFIG_PATH

The following commands are equivalent:

qc_otx --help
python qc_otx/main.py --help
python -m qc_otx.main --help

Installation from source

After cloning the repository, the project can be installed using Poetry.

poetry install

After installing from source, the usage are similar to above.

qc_otx --help
python qc_otx/main.py --help
python -m qc_otx.main --help

Register Checker Bundle to ASAM Quality Checker Framework

Manifest file templates are provided in the manifest_templates folder to register the ASAM OTX Checker Bundle with the ASAM Quality Checker Framework.

Linux Manifest Template

To register this Checker Bundle in Linux, use the linux_otx_manifest.json template file.

If the asam-qc-otx is installed in a virtual environment, the exec_command needs to be adjusted as follows:

"exec_command": "source <venv>/bin/activate && cd $ASAM_QC_FRAMEWORK_WORKING_DIR && qc_otx -c $ASAM_QC_FRAMEWORK_CONFIG_FILE"

Replace <venv>/bin/activate by the path to your virtual environment.

Windows Manifest Template

To register this Checker Bundle in Windows, use the windows_otx_manifest.json template file.

If the asam-qc-otx is installed in a virtual environment, the exec_command needs to be adjusted as follows:

"exec_command": "C:\\> <venv>\\Scripts\\activate.bat && cd %ASAM_QC_FRAMEWORK_WORKING_DIR% && qc_otx -c %ASAM_QC_FRAMEWORK_CONFIG_FILE%"

Replace C:\\> <venv>\\Scripts\\activate.bat by the path to your virtual environment.

Example Configuration File

An example configuration file for using this Checker Bundle within the ASAM Quality Checker Framework is as follows.

Tests

To run the tests, you need to install the extra test dependency after installing from source.

poetry install --with dev

To execute tests:

python -m pytest -vv

or

poetry run pytest -vv

They should output something similar to:

===================== test session starts =====================
platform linux -- Python 3.11.9, pytest-8.2.2, pluggy-1.5.0

You can check more options for pytest at its own documentation.

Contributing

For contributing, you need to install the development requirements besides the test and installation requirements, for that run:

poetry install --with dev

You need to have pre-commit installed and install the hooks:

pre-commit install

To implement a new checker:

1. Create a new Python module for each checker.
2. Specify the following global variables for the Python module

Variable	Meaning
CHECKER_ID	The ID of the checker
CHECKER_DESCRIPTION	The description of the checker
CHECKER_PRECONDITIONS	A set of other checkers in which if any of them raise an issue, the current checker will be skipped
RULE_UID	The rule UID of the rule that the checker will check

3. Implement the checker logic in the following function:

def check_rule(checker_data: models.CheckerData) -> None:
    pass

4. Register the checker module in the following function in main.py.

def run_checks(config: Configuration, result: Result) -> None:
    ...
    # Add the following line to register your checker module
    execute_checker(your_checker_module, checker_data)
    ...

All the checkers in this checker bundle are implemented in this way. Take a look at some of them before implementing your first checker.
