Cetane number or CN is a measure of a fuel's ignition delay, the time period between the start of injection and the first identifiable pressure increase during combustion of the fuel. In a particular diesel engine, higher cetane fuels will have shorter ignition delay periods than lower cetane fuels. Cetane numbers are only used for the relatively light distillate diesel oils.

Its correct is ignition quality and cetane no is increased then the quality is improved.

The cetane rating of diesel fuel refers to it's ability to "light on contact". So therefore, the answer I believe is "ignition quality".
