Description
Samples of data acquired by the STAR Experiment at RHIC are examined at various
stages of processing for quality assurance (QA) purposes. As STAR continues to mature
and utilize new hardware and software, it remains imperative to the experiment to
work cohesively to insure the quality of STAR data so that the collaboration may
continue to produce many new physics results in the efficient and timely manner. From
detector sub-system expert specific information, shift crew reports, online QA or
offline reconstruction information, how to correlate such a rich set of information
would pose a daunting challenge to any collaboration. Presentation of QA results in
an organized and integrated fashion has proven vital to establishing robust
communication of issues to both operators and users. We will present in this paper
the integrated QA system developed to achieve these goals within the STAR experiment,
from detector operations through to data production and analysis.
