ArchUnit

ArchUnit is a free, simple and extensible library for checking the architecture of your Java code. That is, ArchUnit can check
dependencies between packages and classes, layers and slices, check for cyclic dependencies and more. It does so by
analyzing given Java bytecode, importing all classes into a Java code structure.
ArchUnit’s main focus is to automatically test architecture and coding rules, using any plain Java unit testing
framework.

An Example

Add the Maven Central dependency to your project

Gradle

testImplementation 'com.tngtech.archunit:archunit:1.3.0'

Maven

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.tngtech.archunit</groupId>
    <artifactId>archunit</artifactId>
    <version>1.3.0</version>
    <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>

Create a test

import com.tngtech.archunit.core.domain.JavaClasses;
import com.tngtech.archunit.core.importer.ClassFileImporter;
import com.tngtech.archunit.lang.ArchRule;

import static com.tngtech.archunit.lang.syntax.ArchRuleDefinition.classes;

public class MyArchitectureTest {
    @Test
    public void some_architecture_rule() {
        JavaClasses importedClasses = new ClassFileImporter().importPackages("com.myapp");
    
        ArchRule rule = classes()... // see next section
    
        rule.check(importedClasses);
    }
}
