The quality gate that could not see async code
A gate is a measurement, and a measurement has blind spots you must find before you trust it. Our CRAP gate took complexity from source and coverage from a Cobertura report, and the two never met for an async method, because the compiler had moved its body into a state machine. Of 1,946 async methods, two showed any coverage. What that meant for the gate, why the measurement was left unfixed, and the two rules adopted instead.
