Glossary

Term	Definition
Background Fact	An external information that can be related to Quality Indicators or Sizing Measures
Business Criterion	A Quality Criterion which grade is based upon contributing technical criteria grades and critical violations
Category	A Quality Distribution slot. There are 4 categories defined for each Quality Distribution. A category measure is an input value to compute the Quality Distribution grade.
Configuration Item	A Quality Indicator, Sizing Measure of Background Fact, implemented as calculation rule to measure an application or a module.
Distribution Pattern	The Distribution Pattern is the definition of the Object property to use to decide in which distribution category to assign Objects. It also includes the associated documentation: description, rationale, reference, remediation, …
Grade Aggregator	An impacted Quality Indicator (see Grade Contributor)
Grade Contributor	A Quality Indicator which measure is used to compute another Quality Indicator (see Grade Aggregator)
Indirect Contributing Quality Indicator	A Quality Rule, Quality Distribution or Quality Measure contributing to a Business Criterion
Measure Pattern	The Measure Pattern is the definition of the measure to perform on each Module. It also includes the associated documentation: description, rationale, reference, remediation, …
Quality Indicator	An calculation measure which unit is a grade between 1.0 (very high risk) and 4.0 (low risk) to assess a source code quality.
Quality Distribution	A Quality Criterion based on a distribution pattern
Quality Rule	A Quality Criterion to assess compliance of a source code with a Rule Pattern.
Quality Measure	A Quality Criterion based on a measure pattern
Rule Pattern	The Rule Pattern is the pattern that is searched for in the analysis results (source code, cartography, etc.) to pinpoint Violations. It also includes the associated documentation: description, rationale, reference, remediation, …
Sizing Measure	A quantitative measure
Technical Criterion	A Quality Indicator which grade is based upon contributing Quality Rule , Quality Distribution and Quality Measures grades.
