Abstract

We present the tool qcFlow designed to handle the quality control process at ESO’s LaSilla-Paranal Observatory in the ELT era. We highlight the top-level requirements and the way they are implemented in the tool. We also describe the supporting data flow software that allows the quality control process for a large suite of different astronomical instruments to be efficient and automated to a high degree.
