What are all of the files comprising an application called?

The term "artifacts" refers specifically to all of the files that comprise an application within the context of software development, including applications built on platforms like ServiceNow. Artifacts encompass a variety of components such as scripts, configuration files, images, and documentation that together constitute the application. This term is commonly used to denote the collective output of the development process, providing a holistic view of what's included in an application.

In contrast, packages typically refer to collections of files or modules grouped together for distribution or deployment, while modules are often specific components or functionalities within the application itself. Dependencies refer to the relationships between different software components, especially those that are necessary for an application to function correctly but do not represent the entirety of the application's files. Thus, "artifacts" is the most accurate term for describing the complete set of files that make up an application.
