Make .Net Automation Great Again
summary
Built a unified .NET testing library that runs WebUI, API and DB checks across teams and customers including Alfa Bank, migrated to .NET Core for cross‑platform runtimes and RID support, and refactored into independent packages so the tool and tests no longer rebuild together (separated framework from tests). The project undergoes six major rewrites in four years, removes ~15% embedded business logic before open‑sourcing, and uses mutation testing that drops coverage from 80% to ~40% exposing weak tests.
