Add “Number of Tests” Badge to README

To showcase MGCI’s functional coverage and boost user confidence, we want to display a badge indicating the total number of automated tests available.

Objectives

• Dynamically display, in the README.md and project badges, a counter of the tests (jobs), propably defined under templates/*.yml.
• Automatically update this badge on every pipeline run, without manual intervention.

Proposed Implementation**

1. CI Job: count-tests

• New job that:
  • Scans the templates/ directory and counts all *.yml files (or MGCI jobs).
  • Generates a JSON file in Shields.io endpoint format, for example:

    {
      "schemaVersion": 1,
      "label": "MGCI tests",
      "message": "42",
      "color": "blue"
    }

  • Publishes this JSON to public/status-tests.json via GitLab Pages or as an artifact.

2. Shields.io Badge

• In th project badges add at the top of README.md:

  [![MGCI Tests](https://img.shields.io/endpoint?url=https://<YOUR-PAGES-URL>/status-tests.json)]()

3. Documentation

• Update doc to explain how to customize or style this badge.

References

• Shields.io endpoint schema: https://shields.io/endpoint
• GitLab Pages & artifacts: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/pages/

Acceptance Criteria

• CI job count-tests produces and publishes status-tests.json in pages.
• Badge is present and correctly reflects the test count in README.md and project badges.
• Documentation updated with instructions for badge configuration.
• Pipeline passes and updates the badge on every merge into main.
