In Maven and other recent project and source management, we often find this term: "artifact".
I found some of the definition in the Wikipedia.
Artifacts are byproducts of software development process. Uses cases, class diagrams, UML models, requirements document, project plans, business cases and risk assessments are examples of artifacts.
Sometimes it refers also to the code or executable software produced, e.g. in the case of our Maven 2, artifact identifies to the code and executable software produced.
