| A conformance point is an objectively identifiable location where compliance with a defined architectural requirement is inspected or evaluated. | A Conformance Point is an objectively identifiable location at which an evaluator inspects or evaluates whether an identified subject satisfies an applicable [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:r:requirement|Requirement]] and therefore achieves [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:c:conformance|Conformance]]. |
| |
| A conformance point supports repeatable evaluation by linking a requirement to an observable architectural location, artifact, behavior, interface, boundary, or evidence source. | A Conformance Point supports repeatable evaluation by linking a Requirement to an observable architectural location, [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:a:artifact|Artifact]], behaviour, interface, boundary, or [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:e:evidence|Evidence]] source. |

| A conformance point differs from a general design feature. A design feature describes a characteristic of an implementation. A conformance point identifies where an evaluator inspects or evaluates compliance with the [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:r:reference_architecture]]. | A Conformance Point forms part of a [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:c:conformance_model|Conformance Model]]. |

| | A Conformance Point differs from a design feature. A design feature describes a characteristic of an implementation. A Conformance Point identifies where an evaluator performs or observes an assessment. |

| A conformance point provides a stable inspection location for evaluating implementation compliance with an architectural requirement. | A Conformance Point provides a stable location for evaluating Conformance. |
| | |
| | A Conformance Point identifies where an evaluation occurs. |

| | A [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:c:conformance_criterion|Conformance Criterion]] identifies the assessable condition used during that evaluation. |
