If you want to define your own conventions, it is really easy.

Step 1

Create a new class, inheriting from IConvention<TData>, lets use the must have default constructor convention as an example

public class AllClassesHaveDefaultConstructor : IConvention<Types>
{
    public void Execute(Types data, IConventionResult result)
    {

    }
}

Step 2

Write the convention logic

var typesWithoutDefaultCtor = data.TypesToVerify.Where(t => t.HasDefaultConstructor() == false);
result.Is("Types must have a default constructor", typesWithoutDefaultCtor);

Final result

public class AllClassesHaveDefaultConstructor : IConvention<Types>
{
    public void Execute(Types data, IConventionResult result)
    {
        var typesWithoutDefaultCtor = data.TypesToVerify.Where(t => t.HasDefaultConstructor() == false);
        result.Is("Types must have a default constructor", typesWithoutDefaultCtor);
    }
}

IConventionResult

Currently convention tests supports two types of convention results, the one we have just seen is a normal result. The other type is a symmetric result, which is the result for a symmetric convention.

An example of a symmetric convention is ClassTypeHasSpecificNamespace. It can verify a particular class type (dto, domain object, event handler) lives in a certain namespace, but it will also verify that ONLY that class type lives in that namespace. new ClassTypeHasSpecificNamespace(t => t.Name.EndsWith("Dto"), "TestAssembly.Dtos", "Dto")

The result will look like this:

result.IsSymmetric(
    string.Format("{0}s must be under the '{1}' namespace", classType, namespaceToCheck),
    string.Format("Non-{0}s must not be under the '{1}' namespace", classType, namespaceToCheck),
    classIsApplicable,
    TypeLivesInSpecifiedNamespace,
    data.TypesToVerify);
