Artifact Definition

An Artifact is a (unique) structure, tool, object, element, or component defined, designed, or created by man that requires craftsmanship.

Artifacts also can be documentation products, such as text documents, diagrams, spreadsheets, briefing slides, or videos.

Artifacts Overview

An architecture description is a collection of artifacts documenting an architecture.

Archifacts

Archifacts (Architecture Artifacts) are special architecture-related Entity Classes. Archifacts are entity classes, but often, they are not part of your system or solution design but need, refer to, use, or require your system or solution design.
