# Test Count Verification Report

**Date:** 2026-04-06  
**Auditor:** Bezalel  
**Repo:** Timmy Foundation / hermes-agent  

---

## Method

Pytest was not available in the local environment on VPS Beta, so a static analysis count was performed by grepping for test function definitions across the `tests/` directory of the hermes-agent repository.

## Findings

| Category | Count |
|----------|-------|
| Standalone test functions (`def test_...`) | 427 |
| Class-based test methods (`def test_...` inside classes) | 6,882 |
| **Approximate total** | **~7,300** |
| Test files (`test_*.py`) | 382 |

## Spot Checks

- `tests/test_agent_loop.py` — 22 test methods
- `tests/test_anthropic_adapter.py` — multiple test methods
- `tests/security/` — dedicated security test subdirectory

## Conclusion

The portfolio claim of **"3,000+ automated tests"** is **conservative**. The hermes-agent repository alone contains approximately **7,300** test functions across 382 test files. This does not include tests in other repositories (Gitea, Nostr relay, Evennia, etc.), which would push the total higher.

**Recommendation:** No change needed to portfolio.md. The claim is accurate and arguably undercounts the actual coverage.

*Note: A future improvement would be to install pytest and run `--collect-only` for an exact dynamically-collected count, but the static analysis gap is small and the conclusion is robust.*
