Changing the quality gate fugde factor at the global level

The quality gate fudge factor refers to a mechanism where conditions on duplication and coverage are ignored until the number of new lines is at least 20. This is used to avoid overly strict enforcement when dealing with small changes, as minor issues might disproportionately impact the overall quality gate status. By default, the quality gate fudge factor is enabled. 

The fudge factor can be enabled or disabled at the global and project levels. The project-level has precedence over the global-level configuration.

To disable the fudge factor at the global level:

1. Go to Administration > configuration > General Settings >  General > Quality Gate.
2. Unselect the Ignore duplication and coverage on small changes option.
