I believe that should be equal to the number of times the Task has actually been run. I checked on my environment, I am off by 1 on one of the tasks I checked, not sure what else might count to increment that, but let me know if you have further questions and I can try to get further information, but I am pretty sure it is basically just the count of the number of times the task has been started. The only thing that comes to mind on the discrepancy is given it is my laptop, maybe it tried to run and I killed it by shutting down etc., which might result in things getting messed up at that point. So to explain another way, in a production setup, if you restart the QDS service(s), the tasks that get killed might register funny at that point, i.e. they may not show up in task history but would increment the started counter you found. Sorry I do not have anything better, but hopefully this will fit your environment as well.
