Baseline rulesets

Set of default best practices provided by Quality Clouds. The main quality metrics are always calculated against the default ruleset, so that they can serve us as a baseline.

This is especially useful when, for example, you run scans using different sets of customized best practices. In this case, comparing baseline values gives you a better view of the global quality trends.

Custom rulesets

Set of best practices defined by you, which ignores or overrides specific rules of the default set of best practices provided by Quality Clouds. The quality metrics obtained by applying this set of rules, are labeled as Custom Ruleset Metrics, and are displayed in a prominent place in the dashboards.
