Paradigm: Death Based Development (DBD). If the tests fail, the software engineer who wrote the code is executed.
Step 1: I can't do DBD because I don't want to die.
Step 2: I can do DBD if I'm willing to die.
Step 3: When I'm willing to accept death as a natural part of the software development cycle, I can do DBD.
Nice, I like this.
I'm very confident my tests would be very simple under this system.
I'm confident the Volkswagen unit test system would become very popular: https://github.com/auchenberg/volkswagen
