A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

kotlinlang

Hi, I recently published series of 3 articles about Kotlin Architecture Tests <https://medium.com/@leducbao/kotlin-architecture-tests-what-they-are-and-why-they-matter-389ce9a1204c|medium.com/@leducbao/kotlin-architecture-tests-what-they-are-and-why-they-matter…>   and introduced <https://github.com/baole/konture|Konture> - a library + plugin to write architecture tests for Kotlin projects. Happy to hear your feedback

How does Konture differ from <https://docs.konsist.lemonappdev.com/|Konsist>?

Thanks for asking <@U7051GKRQ>. While Konsist is probably the closest alternative, Konture stands out for two primary reasons:

*1. Integration with the Real Build Graph*

Konture’s main differentiator is its Gradle/Maven plugin. Rather than just scanning files, Konture captures the actual project model exactly as Gradle builds it, including *real modules, source sets, production source directories, and declared project dependencies*. This is crucial for Android, Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP), and backend projects, where architectural boundaries are often defined in the build graph rather than just by package names or folder conventions. Konture is designed to enforce guardrails that combine the real module graph with Kotlin source analysis in a single testing surface.

*2. Active Development Status*

Development on Konsist has been paused for a while (see <https://github.com/LemonAppDev/konsist/discussions/1856|this discussion> for context), whereas Konture is actively maintained.
