@@ -36,6 +36,7 @@ The following is a glossary of domain specific terminology. Although benchmarks
 * **test result delta**: the difference between two test results for the same metric and test case.
 * **significant test result delta**: a test result delta that is above some threshold that we have determined to be an actual change in performance and not noise. 
 * **noisy test case**: a test case for which the non-significant test result deltas are on average above some threshold. Non-noisy data tends to be very close to zero, and so a test case that produces non-significant test result deltas that are not close enough to zero on average are classified as noisy.
+* **relevant test result delta**: a synonym for *significant test result delta* in situations where the term "significant" might be ambiguous and readers may potentially interpret *significant* as "large" or "statistically significant". For example, in try run results, we use the term relevant instead of significant.
 * **highly variable test case**: a test case that frequently produces (over some threshold) significant test result deltas. This differs from sensitive benchmarks in that the deltas aren't necessarily large, they just happen more frequently than one would expect, and it is unclear why the significant deltas are happening. Note: highly variable test cases can be classified as noisy. They are different from classically noisy benchmarks in that they often produce deltas that are above the significance threshold. We cannot therefore be 100% if they are variable because they are noisy or because parts of the compiler being exercised by these benchmarks are just being changed very often. 
 * **highly sensitive benchmark**: a test case that tends to produce large (over some threshold) significant test result deltas. This differs from highly variable test cases in that it is usually clear what type of changes tend to result in significant test result deltas. For example, some of the stress tests are highly sensitive; they produce significant test result deltas when parts of the compiler that they are stressing change and the percentage change is typically quite large.
