Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

API: Go, .NET, Rust
Yes, it does feel like some of the "standard stuff" in other more nuanced languages are missing (especially miss AutoFixture ngl). Some of those are a conscious decison by the golang team for example.

Integration Testing Postgres Store
Our first test is very easy, I like to name my tests as MethodName_GivenCondition_ShouldExpectedResult to follow the pattern, I have added GetById_GivenRecordDoesNotExist_ShouldReturnNull and I am going to leavarage excellent AutoFixture to get a new Guid as parameter. For this test we don't need arrange part, we would skip to the act and then assert. For Assertion I am going to use FluentAssertions. For this test we need to assert the returned result is null.

Setting up a simple testing project with C#
The next test to talk about, is that if this was a bank, we would have multiple customers, who can hold multiple accounts that we need to calculate the interest for. You could manually construct these objects if you want, but I'm going to use a package called AutoFixture to make life easier.
- Integration tests without API dependencies with ASP.NET Core and WireMock.Net

I need a C# crash course for experienced developers

Reduce your tests cognitive complexity with AutoFixture
Ensuring that your test is still readable and not bloated by the setup of those variables may be quite a challenge but hopefully no more with AutoFixture, let's see how!

Practical complex data for unit testing
One neat library for creating and generating test data is AutoFixture. The creators describe it as follows:
-
14 .NET packages I always recommend
First time I heard of Bogus, looks interesting, been using AutoFixture for those will definitely take a look at it.
- LPT: There is a library called Bogus, you should know it exists much earlier than I did in my career.
