Aternex

A greenfield .NET solution whose end client never signed the contract, so it never shipped, still carries 880 xUnit test attributes: 803 [Fact] and 77 [Theory]. Nobody asked for them.

A .NET solution built alone from an empty repository for a prospect who never signed. It never went to production and earned nothing. There was no deadline, no acceptance test, no customer and no auditor to require a test suite.

Never signed, never shipped

Every test attribute, one square each

Each square is one [Fact] or [Theory] attribute found in the source. A [Theory] runs once for each of its data rows, so more test cases run than there are squares.

Dates are when each figure was recorded for this site; the work itself is dated in the setting above.

What this does not prove

The contract was never signed and the solution was never put into production, so this shows how the work was built, not a business result. The test count is read from the source, not from a test run. The figures come from a local copy of the repository, and the health scores are one tool's model of quality, not ground truth. These tests belong to this repository only and are not part of the test-rescue figures, which come from a different codebase.

All proof
