Abstract
NetArchTest is a fluent API for .NET designed to enforce architectural rules within unit tests, helping teams maintain software quality and consistency. The presentation highlights common challenges in enforcing architectural patterns, such as team changes and deadline pressures, and proposes automated testing as a solution. NetArchTest enables developers to write and group custom rules, ensuring code adheres to agreed standards and architectural policies. By integrating architecture tests into the development workflow, teams can proactively safeguard best practices and streamline code reviews.
