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.

Mock heavy tests
I'd say that without wanting to refactor the code a little bit (maybe moving those HttpClients into a service so that they are easily mocked) your best bet would be to use something like WireMock or MockHttp.

Integration tests without API dependencies with ASP.NET Core and WireMock.Net
In this post, I'll explain how to create mocks for HTTP APIs in narrow integration tests using the WireMock.Net library.

Fake apis for testing
Recently was pointed to WireMock for testing purposes.

How do you Unit Test a WebAPI? What do you test?
I use WireMock (@ Java) to start a local webserver alongside the tests, this webserver will provide ‘real’ responses to the client. Here’s the C# equivalent: https://github.com/WireMock-Net/WireMock.Net

How do I mock the response from my authentication server for client integration tests?
You could try out WireMock.Net: https://github.com/WireMock-Net/WireMock.Net/wiki/Using-WireMock-in-UnitTests

The only way to go fast, is to go well (TDD from Factorio)
Use WireMock to mock responses from the endpoint that FooClient interacts with. This lets you exercise all of the code contained in FooClient in a realistic way, without using mocks, but still get the different responses you expect.

organizing testing projects
Are you familiar with "snapshot testing" tools such as Verify that store expected output in files. It's still unit testing.

Add persisted parameters to CLI applications in .NET
We can use Verify to perform snapshot testing and check for the correct output of the program. In order to make things easier and simplify working with process output capturing and invocation, I used CliWrap.

In EF Core every foreach is a potential runtime error that can't be properly fixed
You will have to write extra code to set up a code base to get it started (there's always a large initial cost in getting things set up, and you'll be writing code that helps get the state of your application setup), but I can assure you that our team paid the initial tax and the only reason our tests change now is because of requirements changes (and maybe sometimes because the testing tools we use like Verify have some breaking changes in behavior when we upgrade). Otherwise, it helps us identify issues in our code, particularly when we do library upgrades or change to a different library. Again, our tests do not change when we completely reimplement anything, just when the external contract changes. We just get to refactor/reimplement and have confidence that the old behavior stays the same. And then you get to hook up a benchmark to your tests and, if your reason for refactoring was performance reasons, you can show that it was effective.

Perfect Replayability
I assume this means you can take something like this, combine it with Snapshot/Approval testing (link to a library I have used), and then you have some quick-to-generate tests that help guard against regressions (even visual ones) by say:
