[gasparnagy]

We think transparency is important to build a trustful open-source community, so we regularly share our usage and sustainability statistics.

You can find some statistics that we have found interesting (in parenthesis, you see the same figs for the previous months). If you are interested in any other figures, please let us know.

Statistics for September 2024

Featured:

If you check the statistics carefully, you can observe that most probably we have got the first bigger wave of SpecFlow project migrations. This might be visible from the NuGet download statistics (we reached 11% of the SpecFlow downloads the last 6 weeks) but also because the the usage of .NET Framework 4.8 has been suddenly stepped up to the second place with 25% from the fourth with 3% in June.

We can also see the continuous growth of test executions that reached almost 1.5M in September.
