<p>I have a dev, that will get around our code coverage by writing tests that never fail.</p>

<p>The code is just atrocious, but the tests never catch it because they assert(true).</p>

<p>I code review, but I can't do everyones work for them, all the time. How do you get people like this motivated to make good software?</p>

<p>Is there a build plugin for detecting tests that can't fail?</p>

<p>C#, mbUnit tests.</p>

You should really specify the language / framework you're using.
In the simplest case, I suppose it should be easy to detect
```
assert(true)
```
strings with simple
```
grep
```
-ping.
