Plot Repository, Build, and Test Statistics

GitHub Action for C# projects which parses, keeps history, and plots:

  • dotnet build log warnings
  • dotnet test results (TRX output)
  • TO-DOs in code
  • Source line counts
  • Test Code Coverage

Excellent for keeping track of test status, code statistics, tasks outstanding, and providing a simple graphical output. As the output is markdown and PNGs, it can be easily added to documentation sites such as DocFX.

Charts drawn

  • Test Code Coverage: per project
  • TO-DOs: per label, per project, total
  • Build warnings: per project, total
  • Line Counts: per project, total
