FAQPage Schema
What is codebase architecture deepening and how does it improve testability?▼

Codebase architecture deepening identifies shallow modules and refactors them into deeper structures, hiding implementation details behind robust interfaces to enhance testability and AI navigability.

How do I find refactoring opportunities to improve my codebase architecture?▼

To find refactoring opportunities, analyze your codebase against your project's domain model to identify shallow modules, then apply interface design principles to deepen their architecture and improve navigability.

Does this architecture refactoring approach work with my existing domain model?▼

Yes, this approach requires understanding your project's domain model and explicitly uses your project's domain language to ensure context and consistency when suggesting interface design refactoring.

What is the best way to make a complex codebase easier for AI to navigate?▼

The best way to improve AI navigability is to deepen codebase architecture by refactoring shallow modules, establishing clear domain language, and designing robust interfaces that hide implementation details.

When should I not use architecture deepening for refactoring?▼

You should avoid architecture deepening if you cannot perform a comprehensive codebase analysis, as the process strictly requires understanding the project's domain model to suggest accurate interface design refactoring.
