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.
CoreBDD

NUnit vs XUnit for .net6+ microservices
Extensible: Has some really good extension support. There are libs that provide some very interesting ways to use xunit, such as Xunit.Gherkin.Quick, xunit-spec, xunit-bdd, CoreBDD, and many others

On a side note, something I would highly recommend NOT doing is using the built in assertion types for any of the test adapters. Without a doubt the hardest part of switching unit test frameworks is having to fix all your assertions which is why we use 3rd party assertions. The built-in assertions also tend to not be very feature rich and don't have the most helpful messages. We personally use FluentAssertions, but there are other options such as Shoudly or Should. I highly recommend picking one of them over the built in assertions. You will thank yourself later :)
What are some alternatives?
ArchUnitNET - A C# architecture test library to specify and assert architecture rules in C# for automated testing.
Shouldly - Should testing for .NET—the way assertions should be!
xBehave.net - ✖ An xUnit.net extension for describing each step in a test with natural language.
Fluent Assertions - A very extensive set of extension methods that allow you to more naturally specify the expected outcome of a TDD or BDD-style unit tests. Targets .NET Framework 4.7, as well as .NET Core 2.1, .NET Core 3.0, .NET 6, .NET Standard 2.0 and 2.1. Supports the unit test frameworks MSTest2, NUnit3, XUnit2, MSpec, and NSpec3.
GenFu - GenFu is a library you can use to generate realistic test data. It is composed of several property fillers that can populate commonly named properties through reflection using an internal database of values or randomly created data. You can override any of the fillers, give GenFu hints on how to fill them.

NSubstitute - A friendly substitute for .NET mocking libraries.
NFluent - Smooth your .NET TDD experience with NFluent! NFluent is an ergonomic assertion library which aims to fluent your .NET TDD experience (based on simple Check.That() assertion statements). NFluent aims your tests to be fluent to write (with a super-duper-happy 'dot' auto-completion experience), fluent to read (i.e. as close as possible to plain English expression), but also fluent to troubleshoot, in a less-error-prone way comparing to the classical .NET test frameworks. NFluent is also directly inspired by the awesome Java FEST Fluent assertion/reflection library (http://fest.easytesting.org/)
NBomber - Modern and flexible load testing framework for Pull and Push scenarios, designed to test any system regardless a protocol (HTTP/WebSockets/AMQP etc) or a semantic model (Pull/Push).
Stryker.NET - Mutation testing for .NET core and .NET framework!
NUnit - NUnit Framework
Machine.Specifications - Machine.Specifications is a Context/Specification framework for .NET that removes language noise and simplifies tests.
