In my experience, UT is one of the hardest things to enforce upon a team specially when there are lot of junior people who may not equal appreciation for UT as their senior counterparts. And than there are those who may agree in principle but fail in day today implementation. Business pressure to squeeze last minute feature also hurt this. Are there better ways(tools/processes) to keep team motivated to keep writing good quality/coverage UT.

. What you can do is to require them to have unit test where it make sense as part of your code review process. Then that will become a practice in their day to day activities. Or as previously mentioned, establish a metric regarding code quality to measure if you are improving or not in that aspect and make it as part of your team goal.
