Sep 20, 2015 at 4:25 comment added JeffC I'm with Thomas... the winner should be the code base/customer because the code quality improved. Set an overall/group goal based on code coverage of the unit tests... +5% over current or whatever. ... and don't game the system for prizes... whatever happened to a job well done is its own reward?

Explained why the "dupe" is not a dupe.

Jun 2, 2015 at 20:36 comment added Thomas Owens Would it be considered an improvement to not make it a competition? Why does everything have to be a competition? Why can't you collaborate? Maybe getting rid some of your more pointless unit tests and building a nice suite of useful smoke and regression tests would be helpful.

Jun 2, 2015 at 20:32 comment added Shaun Again, no. I realized they can be gamed. I have no control over this competition but was asked "how can we do this better"
Jun 2, 2015 at 20:30 comment added user7043 You don't seem to quite realize the full extent yet. Any measure of who wrote the best test cases will either be completely subjective or have these problems to some degree. What metric works best will depend on your goals for this competitions and on how mature (i.e., unlikely to exploit the scoring rather than writing the best tests they can) the contestants are.
Jun 2, 2015 at 20:27 comment added Shaun Not quite. I realized it from the start
