To identify shallow modules during a codebase refactoring, you analyze dependency graphs and interface complexity to pinpoint leaky abstractions and poor locality, ultimately deepening the architecture for better testability.

Deepening shallow code in software architecture means refactoring modules with wide interfaces and low logic depth into deep components that hide complexity, improving testability and making the codebase easier for AI to navigate.

You generate visual architecture reports with Mermaid diagrams by scanning the project to map dependency graphs, then producing a self-contained HTML report that illustrates refactoring opportunities and interface complexity.

Yes, architectural refactoring applies directly to large-scale codebase maintenance and architectural health assessments by analyzing dependency graphs to systematically refactor shallow modules into deep, testable structures.

Codebase refactoring lacks consistency when domain modeling and design vocabulary principles are not enforced; applying a strict architectural glossary ensures uniform communication and consistent deepening outcomes.

You improve codebase testability through architecture changes by identifying shallow interfaces and leaky abstractions, then refactoring them into deep modules that encapsulate logic and reduce dependency friction.
