The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
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.

How to ignore a child of a Supervisor not being able to start during tests?
In order to do this you may use mock (which is simple to use), mox (they have pretty compelling arguments why not to mock traditionally), or specifically for http requests, bypass.

8 Common Causes of Flaky Tests in Elixir
Your options are mock ets/persistent_term — after all, we don't need to test that these things do what they say (Erlang does that for us!) — or have the tests run synchronously. Prefer the former! Mox is a great choice for this sort of work.

An Introduction to Mocking Tools for Elixir
It also maintains separate mocks for each process, so you can continue using async tests. It’s a great alternative to Mock — but that also means the same caveat applies: be careful about what you mock.

What are some alternatives?
When comparing mox and mock you can also consider the following projects:
meck - A mocking library for Erlang
ex_machina - Create test data for Elixir applications
Stubr - Stubr is a set of functions helping people to create stubs and spies in Elixir.
patch - Ergonomic Mocking for Elixir
ExVCR - HTTP request/response recording library for elixir, inspired by VCR.
ElixirMock - Creates clean, concurrent, inspectable mocks from elixir modules
ecto_it - Ecto plugin with default configuration for repos for testing different ecto plugins with databases
bypass - Bypass provides a quick way to create a custom plug that can be put in place instead of an actual HTTP server to return prebaked responses to client requests.
Mockery - Simple mocking library for asynchronous testing in Elixir.
