reviewing-python-architecture

You review Python architecture by evaluating ADRs against the /testing methodology, focusing on dependency level definitions, mocking prohibitions, and the reality principle. The review identifies specific violations and outputs corrected architectural examples for maintainability.

The reality principle in Python code review is a testing rule enforced during ADR evaluation that prohibits mocking external services. It ensures architectural decisions maintain robustness by enforcing realistic dependency interactions over simulated ones.

You check if an ADR violates parent PDR constraints by evaluating the architectural decision record against established project decision records. This verifies compliance with project-specific constraints and flags misalignments in dependency levels or design principles.

Yes, this code review process works for Python microservices architecture. It evaluates microservice ADRs to detect incorrect dependency level assignments and improper mocking of external services, ensuring the design adheres to robust testing principles.

Common mocking prohibitions when reviewing Python architecture include proposing mocks for external services in ADRs. The review identifies these violations against the /testing methodology, ensuring the architecture relies on real interactions for robustness and maintainability.
