Quality Goals

Primary Quality Goals

Priority	Quality Goal	Stakeholder	Description
1	User experience (Business Expert)	Business Expert	Users who are not software developers should be able to create and edit Executable Documents with minimal or no training. Reports are easy to understand.
2	User experience (Developer)	Developer	Implementing Fixtures is straight-forward for developers and they can grasp the basics with minimal or no training. Fixtures are readable and minimal in size and complexity.
3	Cloud-Readiness	Administrator	All LD2 server components follow 12-Factor principles. LD2 integrates well with public and private cloud environments.
4	Confidentiality	All Users	Use of LD2 does not compromise the confidentiality of information contained in executable documents or any systems with which it integrates.
5	Fault Tolerance	All Users	LD2 is able to return to a consistent state when handling malformed inputs (including Executable Documents and Fixtures). It degrades gracefully in case of partial failure of its components.
6	Robustness to Vendor Updates	Administrator	Using LD2 should not prevent updates to components shared with other systems. Especially patches of Atlassian Confluence should not break LD2.
7	Maintainability	All Users	Changes and bugfixes to LD2 can be implemented quickly.
