Define terms in an Eiffel Vocabulary

[e-backmark-ericsson]

Description

We lack a single place where terms used in the Eiffel Protocol are defined. Such terms are 'Artifact', 'Activity', 'Source Change', 'Environment', 'Issue', 'Test Suite', 'Test Case' and more. Furthermore there are some terms that are used in the Eiffel documentation, but not explicitly by the protocol itself, that should also be included in a vocabulary to make it easier to read and understand the documentation surrounding the protocol. Examples of such terms could be 'Pipeline', 'Step' (?), 'CI Engine'.

Motivation

Making sure we stick to one, clear, vocabulary in the protocol. Easier read of the documentation.

Exemplification

See description

Benefits

See motivation

Possible Drawbacks

None but some effort needed to write it

Well, the vocabulary is there already. It is the list of defined events. What I really ask for here is a glossary of terms used in those events.
