Yes I did the very same lookup. A confusing word but artefacts in IT can be technical documents that give guidance to a team of people who are changing or creating a system. I do think the word has been adopted by IT to make the process a bit fancier to be honest.

Hmm..I get that one mixed up a lot. I did a bit of google search..

Oxford dictionary and Grammarist says it's a difference between British vs American spelling..the US spells it as Artifact, British as Artefact.
The Science Dictionary goes bit further and says ''Artifact: An object produced or shaped by human craft, especially a tool, weapon, or ornament of archaeological or historical interest.
Artefact: An artificial product or effect observed in a natural system, especially one introduced by the technology used in scientific investigation or by experimental error.''

That doesn't help much..does it?
