I'm working with multiple junior developers in multiple projects. I always want to find a way to encourage/force them to write tests. And I want this process to be integrated into the CI/CD and pre-push workflow. So I created this PHP package: https://github.com/howtomakeaturn/easy-coverage https://github.com/howtomakeaturn/easy-coverage What do you think? Any feedback? Thanks!

This approach has the inherent risk to become a text-book example of Goodhart's law. Your juniors have no idea how or what to test, and you are copping out of the hard conversation, programmer-style. How does one get out of sight of the scary tool imposed by the senior dev? Unit tests without assertions to boost coverage to the rescue.
