FAQPage Schema
How do I identify refactoring opportunities to improve codebase architecture and testability?

Architecture review involves analyzing codebase structure to detect shallow modules and suggest module deepening for better leverage and locality. This process generates a detailed HTML report with visualizations highlighting specific maintainability and testability improvements.

What is module deepening and how does it improve code maintainability?

Module deepening is an architectural refactoring technique that converts shallow modules into deep ones, improving leverage and locality. Deepening codebase architecture this way achieves better maintainability and testability through simplified interfaces and encapsulated complexity.

How do I generate an architectural review report with visualizations for my codebase?

Generate an architectural review report by traversing your codebase to analyze structure and identify refactoring opportunities. The output is a comprehensive HTML file using Tailwind CSS for layout and Mermaid diagrams for architecture visualizations, requiring no external package installation.

Does the architecture review process require installing external packages or dependencies?

The architecture review process requires no external package installation. It uses a FastAPI backend and YAML for configuration natively, allowing codebase structure analysis and HTML report generation without adding dependencies to your project environment.

Can I use this approach for a FastAPI project to improve testability?

Yes, you can use this architecture review approach for a FastAPI project to improve testability. The analysis identifies shallow modules and suggests structural changes to deepen architecture, targeting maintainability and testability improvements applicable to FastAPI codebases.

What's the best way to visualize codebase structure and refactoring suggestions?

The best way to visualize codebase structure and refactoring suggestions is generating an HTML report with Mermaid diagrams. This format provides architectural visualizations using Tailwind CSS for layout, illustrating module deepening opportunities and structural improvements for maintainability.
