I would like to know your opinion on whether it is a good idea to have developers put their name or signature on top of every test they write and why (not)?

I would say no. If you really need to know who wrote the test, you should be able to look back in your version control to see who’s to blame. When people start putting their name on things, you lose the sense of collective ownership/blame, and people start to get more concerned with ‘their’ code rather than the system as a whole.
