You can enforce architecture rules in .NET by defining architectural boundaries and writing tests with ArchUnitNET. It loads target assemblies and validates layer dependencies, ensuring infrastructure never depends on presentation within your test suite.

Architecture testing validates structural boundaries in .NET applications. You need it when basic dependency checks are insufficient, and you must enforce rigorous rules like layered dependencies and domain constraints across multiple projects in a large solution.

Yes, ArchUnitNET provides framework integrations for xUnit, MSTest, and TUnit. It uses adapters to wire architecture tests directly into your existing .NET test suites for continuous boundary validation.

To prevent cross-layer dependencies, configure ArchUnitNET in your test project to define boundaries and write tests that enforce constraints. This ensures certain namespaces stay within layers, like blocking infrastructure from referencing presentation.

The best way to integrate architecture validation into CI is configuring ArchUnitNET tests within your .NET test projects. It generates artifacts and provides guidance for architecture validation, running boundary checks automatically during your build pipeline.

Yes, ArchUnitNET supports enforcing domain constraints beyond basic dependency checks. It enables rich architecture rules for .NET tests, allowing you to validate boundary enforcement, layered dependencies, and specific domain constraints across loaded assemblies.
