FAQPage Schema
How do I validate my Spring Boot project architecture against modern best practices?

To validate Spring Boot project architecture, static analysis checks are applied to enforce layered architecture, proper Dependency Injection, and REST API patterns, ensuring your codebase adheres to modern structural standards.

What modern Java features should I use for better software design?

For better software design in modern Java, you should utilize Records, Sealed Classes, and Pattern Matching. These features improve maintainability and are enforced through automated architectural checks.

Does this architectural validation check JUnit 5 and Mockito testing patterns?

Yes, architectural validation assesses JUnit 5 and Mockito usage to ensure comprehensive unit and integration testing. It verifies that your testing patterns align with modern Java development standards.

How do I enforce layered architecture and separation of concerns in Java?

To enforce layered architecture and separation of concerns in Java, static analysis validates the proper use of DTOs and Entities. This ensures clear boundaries within your Spring Boot project structure.

Can I use this for an existing Java codebase or is it only for new projects?

You can use this for both new and existing Java projects. It analyzes your codebase to provide guidelines and automated checks, improving quality and maintainability regardless of project age.

What dependencies are required to check Java Spring Boot architectural patterns?

Checking Java Spring Boot architectural patterns requires knowledge of modern Java, Spring Boot, JUnit 5, and Mockito. These dependencies form the foundation for static analysis and best practice enforcement.
