No, my question is: how can we detect that a test is never run? Do we need test covertage on the test suite? Or inject faults in the code to test the test suite? Any other idea?

Currently a lot of tests are skipped silently. See issue18702 [1]. Perhaps we need a tool which collects skipped and runned tests, compare these sets with sets from a previous run on the same buildbot and reports if they are different.
