No, they do write tests, just
1. Include the ones that passed and discard those that failed.
2. Run the tests several times and report only the best result.
3. Keep some of the details secret (data, some weird parameters, or maybe the whole repository), tweak something, run again, get some nice figures and publish a new paper.
