Pull request overview
Adds an Architecture Decision Record (ADR) documenting the Sprint 8 rollout of xUnit v3 for Architecture.Tests, extending the Sprint 7 Domain.Tests pilot decision and recording rollout status/performance notes.
Changes:
- Adds a new ADR capturing the rationale, scope, consequences, and rollout plan for migrating
Architecture.Teststo xUnit v3. - Records baseline vs. post-migration performance numbers and a multi-sprint rollout timeline.
- Includes an appendix with a before/after API migration example.
| 2. **Output type** — Set `<OutputType>Exe</OutputType>` for standalone MTP execution | ||
| 3. **API rewrite** — Update attribute naming (`[Fact]` → `[Test]`) and assertion patterns | ||
| 4. **Test validation** — All 11 architecture tests pass with xUnit v3 |

The decision steps describe setting <OutputType>Exe</OutputType> and renaming [Fact] → [Test], but the current test projects in this repo (e.g., tests/Architecture.Tests/Architecture.Tests.csproj, tests/Domain.Tests/Domain.Tests.csproj) do not set OutputType, and Architecture.Tests still uses [Fact] (no [Test] usage found). Please update this ADR to reflect the actual migration mechanics used here (package swap + any required csproj settings like <Using Include="Xunit" />, while keeping [Fact]).

| 2. **Project configuration** — Keep the existing test project shape; apply any required xUnit v3 csproj settings used in this repo (for example, `<Using Include="Xunit" />`) without introducing unrelated output-type changes | |
| 3. **Test API compatibility** — Keep the existing `[Fact]` attributes and existing assertion style; no `[Fact]` → `[Test]` rename is required for this rollout | |
| 4. **Test validation** — Confirm all 11 existing architecture tests continue to pass after the package/configuration migration to xUnit v3 |

| - **API breaking changes** — Though minimal here, still requires test method signature updates (`[Fact]` → `[Test]`) |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
This consequence states migration requires test method signature updates due to [Fact] → [Test], but the repo’s migrated test code continues to use [Fact] with unchanged method signatures. Recommend removing or rewording this to describe the real breaking changes encountered (if any) during the Architecture.Tests rollout.
| - **API breaking changes** — Though minimal here, still requires test method signature updates (`[Fact]` → `[Test]`) | |
| - **Migration overhead** — Though minimal here, the rollout still requires validating package versions, runners, and CI behavior for xUnit v3 compatibility |
| - Observed duration: **45–50 ms** (11 tests, estimated based on Domain.Tests per-test average of ~2.5 ms) | ||
| - Per-test average: ~4.1–4.5 ms (architecture tests slightly heavier due to NetArchTest reflection) |

This bullet describes the duration as both “Observed” and “estimated based on Domain.Tests per-test average”, which is internally inconsistent. Please clarify whether the baseline is measured (and how/where it was measured) or an estimate, and label it accordingly.

The appendix “After (xUnit v3)” example uses [Test] and the “Key changes” section claims [Fact] → [Test], but the current Architecture.Tests codebase uses [Fact] with xUnit v3 and does not use [Test]. Please update the example and key-change bullets to match the actual patterns used in tests/Architecture.Tests (attributes + assertion style).
