.NET CRAP & Coverage Analysis FAQs

Question 1

Can I use this in my CI/CD pipeline?

Accepted Answer

Yes, this skill provides pre-configured templates for GitHub Actions and Azure Pipelines to automate coverage collection, report generation, and artifact uploading.

Question 2

What is a CRAP score?

Accepted Answer

The CRAP (Change Risk Anti-Patterns) score is a metric that combines cyclomatic complexity with code coverage to determine how risky a piece of code is to maintain or change. High scores indicate complex, untested code.

Question 3

What tools need to be installed for this skill to work?

Accepted Answer

You need the .NET SDK, the 'XPlat Code Coverage' collector (standard with most test templates), and the ReportGenerator tool installed either globally or as a local dotnet tool.

Question 4

How do I interpret high CRAP scores?

Accepted Answer

A CRAP score over 30 is considered high risk. You should either add more unit tests to increase coverage or refactor the method to reduce its cyclomatic complexity.

Question 5

Why does this skill require the OpenCover format?

Accepted Answer

The OpenCover format is necessary because it includes the cyclomatic complexity metrics required for CRAP score calculation, which many other coverage formats omit.
