There are now over 50,000 tests in web-platform-tests!
https://github.com/web-platform-tests/wpt/pull/38249 was the
@mozilla contribution that brought the test count to exactly 50,000:

That's more than double compared to when wpt.fyi launched back in 2017:

Here's what that growth has looked like over time. It's been remarkably steady, and if the trend continues we should hit 60,000 in early 2025.
(Of course we should not directly strive to increase the number of tests, that's a side effect of improved test coverage, not the goal.)
The anomaly in late 2019 / early 2020 was due to generated tests which were combined in https://github.com/web-platform-tests/wpt/issues/21710.
@foolip Honestly it's quite surprising how linear this is, given I'd have expected continued growth as we see a larger percentage of tests written being exported!
@gsnedders Exactly! This is based on test results, I might try using the manifest to see what test types are growing, if there’s any pattern there.
