Other artifacts are concerned with the process of development itself—such as project plans, business cases, and risk assessments.
Artifact occasionally may refer to the released code (in the case of a code library) or released executable (in the case of a program) produced, but more commonly an artifact is the byproduct of software development rather than the product itself.
Artifacts describe automated behavior or control sequences, such as database requests or grammar rules,[1] or user-generated content.
Generally speaking, Illuminated Scrolls are also considered unmaintainable due to the diligence it requires to preserve the symbolic quality.
For this reason, once Illuminated Scrolls are shown to the project sponsor and approved, they are replaced by artifacts which serve a practical role.
