Context
quality.arc42.org is a public software-architecture reference website with an interactive visual graph that software architects use to explore quality characteristics, related requirements, standards, and solution approaches. For these users, the characteristic Functionality matters because the site must provide working search and graph filtering so relevant content can be found quickly. Assumption: no external benchmark exists for this niche reference site, so the thresholds below are conservative release thresholds verified by the team.
Trigger
A software architect searches for Functionality or uses the graph text filter to locate related content.
Acceptance Criteria
- In a JavaScript-enabled browser, the site search returns the
Functionalitypage within the first 5 results for at least 95% of 20 reference queries, with p95 result rendering time of at most 2.0 s per query; source: scripted UI regression suite; evaluation horizon: every release candidate. - In a JavaScript-enabled browser, the graph text filter updates the visible result set for at least 95% of 15 reference filter terms within 1.5 s per term on the full production-content dataset; source: graph interaction test harness; evaluation horizon: every release candidate.
- In a non-JavaScript browser, reduced functionality is acceptable: at least 95% of 20 reference journeys reach the
Functionalitypage through static navigation within 4 interactions, 0 graph text filter controls are presented as usable, and any failed threshold blocks the release within 5 min of the no-JS regression suite finishing; source: no-JS test report and release-gate log; evaluation horizon: every release candidate.
