• Review PR Fix TestRunDirectories crash on Android with relative/empty paths #7787: Fix O(n2) hash collisions in DuplicateDataRowAnalyzer — Review

Energy Efficiency Backlog

Priority	Focus Area	Opportunity	Estimated Impact
HIGH	Code-Level	DuplicateDataRowAnalyzer O(n2) hash → fixed in PR #7787	HIGH — analyzer runs every build; methods with many [DataRow] attributes went from O(n2) to O(n) lookups
MEDIUM	Code-Level	BFSTestNodeVisitor: new StringBuilder allocated per test-tree node	MEDIUM — reduces GC pressure during test execution
MEDIUM	Code-Level	TestNodeUidListFilter: O(n) linear scan per test node in re-run path	MEDIUM — could be replaced with HashSet<T> for O(1) membership test
LOW	Code-Level	AbortForMaxFailedTestsExtension: LINQ .Any(t => t == ...) allocates delegate; Array.IndexOf would be cheaper	LOW — called per test result, but array is tiny (3-4 elements)

# Build a project (use local .dotnet SDK, not system dotnet)
.dotnet/dotnet build <path/to/project.csproj>

# Run tests with filter
.dotnet/dotnet test <path/to/test.csproj> --filter <filter-expression>

# Full solution build (CI style)

• 🔍 Identified opportunity: DuplicateDataRowAnalyzer.TypedConstantArrayComparer.GetHashCode only hashed Kind+Type, not Value → O(n2) dictionary collisions for same-type DataRow attributes
• 🔧 Created PR Fix TestRunDirectories crash on Android with relative/empty paths #7787: Fix O(n2) hash collisions in DuplicateDataRowAnalyzer
• 📊 Measured: For a method with n DataRow attributes of the same type — before: O(n2) comparisons; after: O(n) comparisons. All 11 existing tests pass.
• 🌱 GSF principle applied: Hardware Efficiency — reducing unnecessary computation lowers CPU cycles per build on CI and developer machines
