I do not have that much experience with unit testing. I learned a bit about it in school, but there wasn't an emphasis on it, and we haven't had a huge emphasis on it at work either until recently. |
We have a small suite of unit tests (not much coverage), and then we have a software quality team test many aspects of the functionality of the software. I normally verify basic functionality before even passing it off to them. |
Currently an ARM Cortex M4F chip, but that may change in the future. Likely still ARM Cortex though. |

I took a great TDD course over a decade ago, used to do TDD, now occasionally almost do TDD, but not regularly. |
With great difficulty. Unit testing not included in the code base, mostly; impractical to retrofit. I often change some small piece of complex calculations, validating results is hard. For more re-usable, general, new components, I unit test. |
