Definition of Non-conformant is now Better Understood


Then bringing the meaning of non-conformant to light is much easier and simply by identifying relevant architecture implementation features that are NOT IN ACCORDANCE with the corresponding Specification within the architecture scope.



Here to shed light on Non-conformant,  = is used to represent "Implementation is In Accordance with Specification" and != is used to represent "Implementation is NOT IN ACCORDANCE with specification"

So the threshold for determining non-conformant is when you have at least one relevant feature that fails to be "IN ACCORDANCE" between the implementation and the specification.

Before I wrote my TOGAF 9 exam, I had a hard time understanding the associated description for "non-conformant" in this TOGAF 9 Section in charpter 48.  since the description is a bit flat.  I hope this clarity for Conformant versus Non-conformant definition by adding the Feature dimension will help members who are about to write the TOGAF 9 exams.
