Not measurable. Things that get measured tend to get done more reliably.

I recommend “Your code isn't done until I have a complete automated
test suite from you that I can run to see all requirements
demonstrated working.”

That's the stick. The carrot comes by someone (you, or another)
whispering sweetly in their ear about how much smoother the
development process is if that automated test suite is written at the
same time as (or even before!) the functionality that it's testing.
