Bencher scores 82/100, #3 of 7 in Software Development - Testing: 389 commits in the last 90 days earn 35.0 of 35 points, the latest release (v0.6.15, today) earns 25.0 of 25, 924 stars add 11.9 of 20, an active, unarchived repository keeps 10 and no advertised Docker image leaves the final 10 unclaimed.
