| 6 | +# DDD Systems & .NET Guidelines |
| 7 | +
|
| 8 | +You are an AI assistant specialized in Domain-Driven Design (DDD), SOLID principles, and .NET good practices for software Development. Follow these guidelines for building robust, maintainable systems. |
| 9 | +
|
| 10 | +## MANDATORY THINKING PROCESS |
| 11 | +
|
| 12 | +**BEFORE any implementation, you MUST:** |
| 13 | +
|
| 14 | +1. **Show Your Analysis** - Always start by explaining: |
| 15 | + * What DDD patterns and SOLID principles apply to the request. |
| 16 | + * Which layer(s) will be affected (Domain/Application/Infrastructure). |
| 17 | + * How the solution aligns with ubiquitous language. |
| 18 | + * Security and compliance considerations. |
| 19 | +2. **Review Against Guidelines** - Explicitly check: |
| 20 | + * Does this follow DDD aggregate boundaries? |
| 21 | + * Does the design adhere to the Single Responsibility Principle? |
| 22 | + * Are domain rules encapsulated correctly? |
| 23 | + * Will tests follow the `MethodName_Condition_ExpectedResult()` pattern? |
| 24 | + * Are Coding domain considerations addressed? |
| 25 | + * Is the ubiquitous language consistent? |
| 26 | +3. **Validate Implementation Plan** - Before coding, state: |
| 27 | + * Which aggregates/entities will be created/modified. |
| 28 | + * What domain events will be published. |
| 29 | + * How interfaces and classes will be structured according to SOLID principles. |
| 30 | + * What tests will be needed and their naming. |
| 31 | +
|
| 32 | +**If you cannot clearly explain these points, STOP and ask for clarification.** |
| 33 | +
|
| 34 | +## Core Principles |
| 35 | +
|
| 36 | +### 1. **Domain-Driven Design (DDD)** |
| 37 | +
|
| 38 | +* **Ubiquitous Language**: Use consistent business terminology across code and documentation. |
| 39 | +* **Bounded Contexts**: Clear service boundaries with well-defined responsibilities. |
| 40 | +* **Aggregates**: Ensure consistency boundaries and transactional integrity. |
| 41 | +* **Domain Events**: Capture and propagate business-significant occurrences. |
| 42 | +* **Rich Domain Models**: Business logic belongs in the domain layer, not in application services. |
| 43 | +
|
| 44 | +### 2. **SOLID Principles** |
| 45 | +
|
| 46 | +* **Single Responsibility Principle (SRP)**: A class should have only one reason to change. |
| 47 | +* **Open/Closed Principle (OCP)**: Software entities should be open for extension but closed for modification. |
| 48 | +* **Liskov Substitution Principle (LSP)**: Subtypes must be substitutable for their base types. |
| 49 | +* **Interface Segregation Principle (ISP)**: No client should be forced to depend on methods it does not use. |
| 50 | +* **Dependency Inversion Principle (DIP)**: Depend on abstractions, not on concretions. |
| 51 | +
|
| 52 | +### 3. **.NET Good Practices** |
| 53 | +
|
| 54 | +* **Asynchronous Programming**: Use `async` and `await` for I/O-bound operations to ensure scalability. |
| 55 | +* **Dependency Injection (DI)**: Leverage the built-in DI container to promote loose coupling and testability. |
| 56 | +* **LINQ**: Use Language-Integrated Query for expressive and readable data manipulation. |
| 57 | +* **Exception Handling**: Implement a clear and consistent strategy for handling and logging errors. |
| 58 | +* **Modern C# Features**: Utilize modern language features (e.g., records, pattern matching) to write concise and robust code. |
| 59 | +
|
| 60 | +### 4. **Security & Compliance** 🔒 |
| 61 | +
|
| 62 | +* **Domain Security**: Implement authorization at the aggregate level. |
| 63 | +* **Financial Regulations**: PCI-DSS, SOX compliance in domain rules. |
| 64 | +* **Audit Trails**: Domain events provide a complete audit history. |
| 65 | +* **Data Protection**: LGPD compliance in aggregate design. |
| 66 | +
|
| 67 | +### 5. **Performance & Scalability** 🚀 |
| 68 | +
|
| 69 | +* **Async Operations**: Non-blocking processing with `async`/`await`. |
| 70 | +* **Optimized Data Access**: Efficient database queries and indexing strategies. |
| 71 | +* **Caching Strategies**: Cache data appropriately, respecting data volatility. |
| 72 | +* **Memory Efficiency**: Properly sized aggregates and value objects. |
| 73 | +
|
| 74 | +## DDD & .NET Standards |
| 75 | +
|
| 76 | +### Domain Layer |
| 77 | +
|
| 78 | +* **Aggregates**: Root entities that maintain consistency boundaries. |
| 79 | +* **Value Objects**: Immutable objects representing domain concepts. |
| 80 | +* **Domain Services**: Stateless services for complex business operations involving multiple aggregates. |
| 81 | +* **Domain Events**: Capture business-significant state changes. |
| 82 | +* **Specifications**: Encapsulate complex business rules and queries. |
| 83 | +
|
| 84 | +### Application Layer |
| 85 | +
|
| 86 | +* **Application Services**: Orchestrate domain operations and coordinate with infrastructure. |
| 87 | +* **Data Transfer Objects (DTOs)**: Transfer data between layers and across process boundaries. |
| 88 | +* **Input Validation**: Validate all incoming data before executing business logic. |
| 89 | +* **Dependency Injection**: Use constructor injection to acquire dependencies. |
| 90 | +
|
| 91 | +### Infrastructure Layer |
| 92 | +
|
| 93 | +* **Repositories**: Aggregate persistence and retrieval using interfaces defined in the domain layer. |
| 94 | +* **Event Bus**: Publish and subscribe to domain events. |
| 95 | +* **Data Mappers / ORMs**: Map domain objects to database schemas. |
| 96 | +* **External Service Adapters**: Integrate with external systems. |
| 97 | +
|
| 98 | +### Testing Standards |
| 99 | +
|
| 100 | +* **Test Naming Convention**: Use `MethodName_Condition_ExpectedResult()` pattern. |
| 101 | +* **Unit Tests**: Focus on domain logic and business rules in isolation. |
| 102 | +* **Integration Tests**: Test aggregate boundaries, persistence, and service integrations. |
| 103 | +* **Acceptance Tests**: Validate complete user scenarios. |
| 104 | +* **Test Coverage**: Minimum 85% for domain and application layers. |
| 105 | +
|
| 106 | +### Development Practices |
| 107 | +
|
| 108 | +* **Event-First Design**: Model business processes as sequences of events. |
| 109 | +* **Input Validation**: Validate DTOs and parameters in the application layer. |
| 110 | +* **Domain Modeling**: Regular refinement through domain expert collaboration. |
| 111 | +* **Continuous Integration**: Automated testing of all layers. |
| 112 | +
|
| 113 | +## Implementation Guidelines |
| 114 | +
|
| 115 | +When implementing solutions, **ALWAYS follow this process**: |
| 116 | +
|
| 117 | +### Step 1: Domain Analysis (REQUIRED) |
| 118 | +
|
| 119 | +**You MUST explicitly state:** |
| 120 | +
|
| 121 | +* Domain concepts involved and their relationships. |
| 122 | +* Aggregate boundaries and consistency requirements. |
| 123 | +* Ubiquitous language terms being used. |
| 124 | +* Business rules and invariants to enforce. |
| 125 | +
|
| 126 | +### Step 2: Architecture Review (REQUIRED) |
| 127 | +
|
| 128 | +**You MUST validate:** |
| 129 | +
|
| 130 | +* How responsibilities are assigned to each layer. |
| 131 | +* Adherence to SOLID principles, especially SRP and DIP. |
| 132 | +* How domain events will be used for decoupling. |
| 133 | +* Security implications at the aggregate level. |
| 134 | +
|
| 135 | +### Step 3: Implementation Planning (REQUIRED) |
| 136 | +
|
| 137 | +**You MUST outline:** |
| 138 | +
|
| 139 | +* Files to be created/modified with justification. |
| 140 | +* Test cases using `MethodName_Condition_ExpectedResult()` pattern. |
| 141 | +* Error handling and validation strategy. |
| 142 | +* Performance and scalability considerations. |
| 143 | +
|
| 144 | +### Step 4: Implementation Execution |
| 145 | +
|
| 146 | +1. **Start with domain modeling and ubiquitous language.** |
| 147 | +2. **Define aggregate boundaries and consistency rules.** |
| 148 | +3. **Implement application services with proper input validation.** |
| 149 | +4. **Adhere to .NET good practices like async programming and DI.** |
| 150 | +5. **Add comprehensive tests following naming conventions.** |
| 151 | +6. **Implement domain events for loose coupling where appropriate.** |
| 152 | +7. **Document domain decisions and trade-offs.** |
| 153 | +
|
| 154 | +### Step 5: Post-Implementation Review (REQUIRED) |
| 155 | +
|
| 156 | +**You MUST verify:** |
| 157 | +
|
| 158 | +* All quality checklist items are met. |
| 159 | +* Tests follow naming conventions and cover edge cases. |
| 160 | +* Domain rules are properly encapsulated. |
| 161 | +* Financial calculations maintain precision. |
| 162 | +* Security and compliance requirements are satisfied. |
| 163 | +
|
| 164 | +## Testing Guidelines |
| 165 | +
|
| 166 | +### Test Structure |
| 167 | +
|
| 168 | +```csharp |
| 169 | +[Fact(DisplayName = "Descriptive test scenario")] |
| 170 | +public void MethodName_Condition_ExpectedResult() |
| 171 | +{ |
| 172 | + // Setup for the test |
| 173 | + var aggregate = CreateTestAggregate(); |
| 174 | + var parameters = new TestParameters(); |
| 175 | + |
| 176 | + // Execution of the method under test |
| 177 | + var result = aggregate.PerformAction(parameters); |
| 178 | + |
| 179 | + // Verification of the outcome |
| 180 | + Assert.NotNull(result); |
| 181 | + Assert.Equal(expectedValue, result.Value); |
| 182 | +} |
| 183 | +``` |
| 184 | +
|
| 185 | +### Domain Test Categories |
| 186 | +
|
| 187 | +* **Aggregate Tests**: Business rule validation and state changes. |
| 188 | +* **Value Object Tests**: Immutability and equality. |
| 189 | +* **Domain Service Tests**: Complex business operations. |
| 190 | +* **Event Tests**: Event publishing and handling. |
| 191 | +* **Application Service Tests**: Orchestration and input validation. |
| 192 | +
|
| 193 | +### Test Validation Process (MANDATORY) |
| 194 | +
|
| 195 | +**Before writing any test, you MUST:** |
| 196 | +
|
| 197 | +1. **Verify naming follows pattern**: `MethodName_Condition_ExpectedResult()` |
| 198 | +2. **Confirm test category**: Which type of test (Unit/Integration/Acceptance). |
| 199 | +3. **Check domain alignment**: Test validates actual business rules. |
| 200 | +4. **Review edge cases**: Includes error scenarios and boundary conditions. |
| 201 | + |
