Enforcing layer dependencies in a .NET solution involves validating visibility and references across layers using architecture tests. This generates a deterministic test scaffold to assert that Core.Domain, Core.Logic, Core.Data, and Web.* layers follow standard structural rules.

Scaffolding architecture tests for .NET projects is best handled by generating a ready-to-run test project with anchor-type wiring. This provides a runnable skeleton using xUnit v3 to assert layer dependencies and symbol visibility consistently across solutions.

Yes, this architecture test scaffold works with xUnit v3 and uses Umbrella.Testing.Architecture. It generates a dotnet csproj aligned to existing repo conventions and supplies a runnable skeleton to validate layer dependencies and symbol visibility.

Architecture testing for .NET repos applies specifically to solutions following the Core.Domain to Core.Data to Core.Logic to Web.* layer structure. Repositories deviating from this standard Umbrella layer structure may not be compatible with the generated deterministic test scaffold.

Wiring anchor types for .NET architecture validation involves running a scaffolding workflow that generates a test project and discovers anchor types. This wires the Core.Domain, Core.Logic, Core.Data, and Web.* layers to enforce dependencies and symbol visibility.

A deterministic test scaffold for .NET architecture enforcement is needed to provide consistent governance across solutions. It supplies a ready-to-run skeleton that demonstrates how to assert layer dependencies and symbol visibility, preventing architectural drift over time.
