I'm quite happy that they care about code quality, I just think they're going about it the wrong way. The fact that my project has had multiple serious data corruption bugs recently...both in code with 100% code coverage illustrates the point.

If you want something that tests how good the tests are look at things like Jester: http://jester.sourceforge.net/ Don't know if something like that is available for C/C++.
