Course code: JHAP-1

Years with company: 20+

Years programming: 20+

Primary programming language: C++

Other programming languages: Python, C, Julia, Matlab, VHDL

Unit test harnesses: Google Test, Python unittest

Something else: Am an electrical engineer that does a lot of programming, mostly for signal processing and command and control.

Test practice now: I like to build an abstraction layer into my code that allows it to run on PC or embedded. Then I build a bunch of test cases that I run through it using a Python script. Output is generally plots of signal processing performance

Target system: Varies from embedded Linux to FreeRTOS mostly on ARM and x86 platforms.

Dev tools: Visual Studio Code, Cmake, Docker, and Atmel Studio. I prefer to develop using Linux.

Build time: 31-60 seconds

Coding standard: I follow a one page standard provided by an associate.

Function too long: I sort of eyeball this...

Code reviews: Often there are no code reviews, I am the only person doing software.

Code time: 20

Test time: 20

Debug time: 20

Favorite thing about dev: I like independent work and figuring out the details to accomplish a task. I like signal processing jobs starting with a simulation and working to deployed code.

Least favorite thing about dev: Poorly defined requirements that change during the project. Hardware that is not suitable for the task. Unrealistic deadlines. Delivery of test code to a customer. Working with difficult people...

Tdd knowledge: Nothing

Why are you attending: I'm working with legacy code for an embedded micro-controller that has no unit test strategy. I would like to test parts of it on a PC and I'm looking to learn techniques to apply.
