Mmm, just to say I'm skeptical about such a thing. For several reasons:
 - when fixing things with broken tests, you don't add tests (but you
do fix them)
 - 'a test' is the wrong metric. 'Enough tests' is the right one : can
this do cyclometric complexity + type inference analysis? [Which is
what good reviewers are doing in their head].
 - when you measure something you /get it/ : and if what you measure
isn't what you want, thats a bad thing.
