ArchUnit
Archunit ArchUnit is a library that can be used for this architecture quality purpose. It integrates with Unit Test to verify the application code structure the same way standard Unit Test classes are verifying the application code logic.
It ArchUnit can be used to:
- Verify application packages and classes dependencies
- Detect dependency cycles in the application structure
- Verify annotations, inheritance, naming conventions, ...
- Compute some software architecture metrics

It gives ArchUnit gives flexibility to:
- Ignore some specific classes if needed (https://www.archunit.org/userguide/html/000_Index.html#_ignoring_violations)
- Be implemented incrementally for existing code base (https://www.archunit.org/userguide/html/000_Index.html#_freezing_arch_rules)
