SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Pairs architecture artefacts with integration and structural verification to ensure boundaries, deployment, or runtime scenarios are proven in tests, written in a neutral third-person tone.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Aligns architecture artifacts with integration tests to prevent boundary regressions across services or components.
  • Enables contract tests, narrow integration tests, and alignment with architecture decisions for runtime validation.
  • Use Case: when introducing a new service or refactoring that crosses module or process boundaries, run architecture-integrated verification to lock in decisions.

Quick Start

Document the target boundaries and link the relevant architecture and integration tests to establish verifiable runtime behavior.

FAQPage Schema
How do I use integration tests to verify architecture boundaries?

Contract tests prevent architecture boundary regressions by locking in the agreed communication interfaces between services. They validate runtime scenarios and ensure integration tests align with architecture decisions during refactors or API changes.

What is the best way to prevent boundary regressions when refactoring microservices?

To set up architecture-integrated verification, document the target boundaries and link the relevant architecture artefacts with integration tests. This establishes verifiable runtime behavior and proves architecture decisions are maintained.

Can I use narrow integration tests for validating new service deployment topologies?

Yes, narrow integration tests validate new service deployment topologies by aligning with architecture decisions to verify runtime scenarios. They ensure boundary verification and structural integrity when deployment or topology updates shift process boundaries.

When do I need contract tests for system design changes?

You need contract tests for system design changes when introducing new services, modifying APIs, or refactoring across module and process boundaries. They enforce boundary verification and prevent regressions by validating runtime behavior against architecture decisions.
