Course code: ACL-1

Years with company: 1.5

Years programming: 4

Primary programming language: C

Other programming languages: Python, MATLAB, Java

Unit test harnesses: Ctest, mCRL2

Something else: I am an Electronics Engineer with a MSc. in Embedded Systems. When I was studying my degree I discovered my passion for programming and I found in Embedded Systems the perfect topic to do what I like without forgeting my background.

Test practice now: We do functional tests with Ctest

Target system: I develop code for both a Renesas RX65 MCU and the ZON M3 and P3, embedded in a smart meter. I also code for PC.

Dev tools: CrossStudio for MAXQ30, IAR Embedded Workbench and Visual Studio Code

Build time: Under 10 seconds

Coding standard: The C style guide from the company and MISRA-C rules.

Function too long: When you already forgot the type of a variable by the time you reach the end of the function.

Code reviews: We don't have standarized code reviews

Code time: 40

Test time: 40

Debug time: 20

Favorite thing about dev: I like that you can solve the same problem in several different and creative ways.

Least favorite thing about dev: I don't like it when it gets repetitive.

Tdd knowledge: Nothing

Why are you attending: The company is giving us the chance to do it, and I think it is a great opportunity to learn how to perform robust testing. It can save a lot of time and it can help to gain confidence on the code you write.
