ArchUnit is a free, simple and extensible library for checking the architecture of your Java code. That is, ArchUnit can check dependencies between packages and classes, layers and slices, check for cyclic dependencies and more. It does so by analyzing given Java bytecode, importing all classes into a Java code structure. ArchUnit's main focus is to automatically test architecture and coding rules, using any plain Java unit testing framework.
An Example
Add the Maven Central dependency to your project
Gradle
testImplementation 'com.tngtech.archunit:archunit:0.15.0'
Maven
<dependency>
<groupId>com.tngtech.archunit</groupId>
<artifactId>archunit</artifactId>
<version>0.15.0</version>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
Create a test
import com.tngtech.archunit.core.domain.JavaClasses;
import com.tngtech.archunit.core.importer.ClassFileImporter;
import com.tngtech.archunit.lang.ArchRule;
import static com.tngtech.archunit.lang.syntax.ArchRuleDefinition.classes;
public class MyArchitectureTest {
@Test
public void some_architecture_rule() {
JavaClasses importedClasses = new ClassFileImporter().importPackages("com.myapp");
ArchRule rule = classes()... // see next section
rule.check(importedClasses);
}
}
