What does the compliance score provide for an application?

The compliance score serves as a quantifiable assessment of application quality by evaluating how well the application adheres to various standards and best practices set by the Pega platform. This score reflects key performance indicators such as security, performance efficiency, and adherence to architectural principles, allowing developers and stakeholders to gauge the overall health and quality of the application. A higher compliance score indicates that the application meets more of these established criteria, which can result in improved reliability, maintainability, and user satisfaction.

While other options might touch on different aspects of application management, they do not specifically capture the essence of what the compliance score measures. For instance, user experience is important but not directly tied to compliance metrics. Similarly, implementation time primarily concerns project management and delivery, rather than the quality assessment the compliance score provides. Lastly, risk assessment of user access is more about security measures in place rather than an overall quality score that reflects overall application performance and stability.
