FAQPage Schema
How do I validate architectural decisions before software implementation planning?

Architectural validation reviews your design against core principles after brainstorming and before implementation planning, catching structural issues early. It checks domain detection, performs a universal review, and outputs ADR documentation for a structured handoff.

When do I need an architectural review for my fullstack design?

You need an architectural review after brainstorming and before implementation planning across frontend, backend, or fullstack architectures. This timing catches structural issues early when they are cheapest to fix, ensuring domain detection and design quality validation.

Does architectural validation work for both frontend and backend designs?

Yes, architectural validation applies universally across frontend, backend, and fullstack architectures. It performs a universal architectural review to ensure domain detection and structural quality regardless of your specific software stack or layer.

How do I document my software architecture using ADRs?

To document architecture using ADRs, the validation process generates Architecture Decision Records during the review phase. This provides a structured handoff to planning, ensuring validated design choices are formally recorded before building begins.

What is the best way to catch structural design issues before building software?

The best way to catch structural design issues is to validate your design against architectural principles before implementation. This approach ensures good architecture makes change easy by identifying and resolving problems when they are cheapest to fix.
