3 3 Java Javascript C# JUnit I don't like winter cause it's too cold for me. I use TDD. Currently using Java VS Code, Git 5-30 minutes I follow the team working agreement When it's over 10 lines of code My code reviews look for any errors in the way the code was written. 50 20 30 I like how developing software allows me to do almost anything I can put my mind to. I don't like how debugging can be difficult at times. It's good for making sure requirements are met. I'm attending this class in the hopes to learn more about how to use TDD Show

1 5 C Python, Javascript, dabbled in C#, C++, Rust None really, have used a simple test harness written by colleague, not strictly for unit tests I spent most of my youth playing World of Warcraft. Running the code on hardware (or a dev board if no hardware) and observing the behaviour. If I encounter a problem as the device runs I will single out a function or functions and maybe write some code to explicitly test them. Very much test-after. STM32 micros, typically for IoT style devices. STM32CubeIDE, Git. 31-60 seconds We use a subset of Barr Group embedded C standard. Doesn't fit on a page (need to scroll screen to read it all). We have a rough procedure for performing code reviews but it isn't really done. 49 2 49 Creating something,solving a problem.Seeing something you've spent effort on/struggled with working. Pain of something not working or breaking intermittently and not knowing why, esp. under time pres. It involves writing tests before writing code.

I work primarily with Nordic Semiconductor MCUs and NCS/Zephyr Rtos Vscode, Jlink 11-30 seconds Nothing is strictly enforced. If I can't fit it within a single screen. Generally, no code review unless my company pays for outside review. 60 20 20 It is like solving a giant puzzle. You just have to find/make the pieces that fit together. When the user decides the original specification isn't actually what they wanted. I understand the development cycle and its potential. I am hoping it will help me figure out how to implement TDD with my NCS/Zephyr RTOS projects. Show

2.5 8 inc uni C (embedded) Python (data) Javascript (cloud) None. Mostly integration tests controlled using a CLI and not at all automated. I prefer to first approach problems at the strategic level rather than the tactical level... and I like reading and spending time outdoors. Through manual observation of system behaviour. STM32 Microcontrollers STM32CUBEIDE 31-60 seconds I've implemented a minimal style guide based on Michael Barr's standard. When it won't all fit on one screen. Not something that I do very often but am starting to do now and am finding it very rewarding. 40 10 50 Creating something from nothing and refining something convoluted and making it simple. The overwhelm that occurs when you haven't broken down a problem into manageable chunks. A methodology which improves code reliability, maintainability and extensibility through testing. I don't have a framework that I follow to reliably execute projects and it's causing me stress. Show

When it is charged with countless tasks. I have a practice of reviewing my code as soon as its basic functionality is implemented. 50 10 40 The quick turnaround and correction of a feature implementation. Unlike hardware development. It consumes a lot of life energy. That is why I am here: for optimizing this energy consumption. I read Test-Driven Development for Embedded C, but I couldn't use it on a daily basis.

2 3 C C++, python I haven't done any unit tests. I am a Passionate Embedded Engineer having immense love for electronics and coding. I have two years of work experience in Software development and mastered myself in C programming. I will write a separate module called test.c and will use member functions to test the code. To enable testing I will use Macros in my main function. If Macro is set, then the test code would work, else production code would work. I am using Linux - ubuntu distribution, 20.04 version.

2 5 C Python, C++, java We currently use googletest, but are likely going to switch to unity test. 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. VSCode as my text editer, ARM-gcc is the main compiler, proprietary tools are also used quite often. 1-5 minutes We have internal standards that we try to maintain, but it often times they are not very strict. Sometimes by feel. I believe we also have commit hooks that check function complexity. We use gerrit for reviews. Code must be reviewed by someone other than yourself before submitting. 25% 5% 30% I love seeing my software do what I want it to do. I like designing and problem solving. Having to use old legacy code and coding standards that don't make sense or limit functionality. From what I understand, you write unit tests based on required functionality, and then code after. My manager signed our team up. (That is the real reason, but I do think it is also a good idea) Show

1 15 c c++ google test framework I have been coding in c/c++ for few years, but I don't hav idea on TDD. So I need to explore now. Using google framework, we write test cases for the code under test. Earlier network elements now, data collectors for water meters. c cross compiler for nxp platform 1-5 minutes We have certain guidelines to follow. If there are more number of test cases pertaining to each function then definitely we know. Reviewers follow the review guidelines document and review the code. 10 4 3 It gives me immense pleasure to see my code is runnung on the systems. Bit tedious job to design the software application architecture that gives flexibility to enhance. I just know first we need to write test cases before even to start with developing code. My organization mandated this course to complete. Show
4 13 C C++, python, Java, C# None I've been wanting to get some form of testing integrated into my personal Android apps. Generally top-level integration testing when changes are made Embedded Linux + FPGA w/soft microcontroller vim, CMake, Intel Quartus 5-30 minutes Varies from project to project/application to application as-needed. When it includes duplicate code that could be made into another shared function elsewhere. Very basic reviews on each pull-request 10 5 85 Making things work, tracking down obscure bugs and fixing them with one line Bad tools/vendor support Avoiding getting bogged down writing tests when we don't even know what the legacy code is doing. I'm open to learning about tdd, but am mostly here due to the company organizing it. Show
