Testing Architecture Made Simple

The session shows how ArchUnit turns architectural decisions into automated tests, and how Taikai extends it with ready-made rules for popular technologies. Together, they help teams enforce consistent architecture, best practices, and long-term maintainability from the start.

Every software project starts with architectural decisions—principles and patterns meant to guide the system’s evolution. But as codebases grow, how do you ensure those decisions remain intact? That’s where ArchUnit comes in. By expressing architectural rules as tests, ArchUnit lets you verify your architecture automatically with every build.

Taikai takes this concept further. It builds on ArchUnit by providing a ready-to-use collection of architectural rules for popular technologies, helping teams enforce architectural consistency and best practices effortlessly. In this session, you’ll learn how Taikai can make your architecture more testable, maintainable, and resilient from day one.
