Ok, pretty basic question here, i know that Altera has all kinds of tutorials so I'm just asking for a redirect to the correct ones.
I have a project in Quartus II where I have designed a very very basic 16-bit processor. How do I go about testing my processor? I'm not really sure what SOPC builder or Qsys do. Basically I just want to go from the design stage to the ability to input basic assmebly instructions. If anyone can point me in the right direction that would be much appreciated.

You should start by using Modelsim. That'll allow you to use non-synthesizeable constructs, like reading instructions from a file.
Did you create your processor using VHDL or Verilog?
