I have a fake 16GB stick which is actually only 2GB (fails RMPrepUSB Quick test and H2TESTW at just under 2GB). The bad block test passes it still (v1.1.3.146).
I test by writing a signature at intervals from end of disk to beginning, then reading those marked blocks from beginning to end.
Maybe a better approach is to add a 'verify' option (which needs to be done after ALL files have been written to the disk and not after each file is written)?
