Course code: WEB-24

Years with company: 12

Years programming: 15

Primary programming language: C

Other programming languages: I've used C++, python

Unit test harnesses: Google test

Something else: I enjoy collecting vinyl records and I belong to an Olympic weightlifting club.

Test practice now: A large part of our code is tested manually as part or a larger system. We're starting to adapt unit testing and a small portion of our code is unit tested.

Target system: Embedded systems.

Dev tools: Gcc, PC simulators, VS code.

Build time: 1-5 minutes

Coding standard: The coding standard is a little hard to follow and seemed to be setup before modern IDEs were available.

Function too long: A function is considered too long when it does one more than one thing.

Code reviews: Code reviews are done before every patch is submitted. A developer isn't allowed to review their own patches.

Code time: 30

Test time: 30

Debug time: 40

Favorite thing about dev: I liked seeing the code/projects I work on end up on devices that are used by customers around the world. I enjoy digging into bugs and trying to solve the issues for our customers.

Least favorite thing about dev: The manual testing process and vague bug reports that are hard to track down to root causes.

Tdd knowledge: I know TDD means developing tests first and that more time is spent up front so that less time is spent tracking down issues in the field.

Why are you attending: We've started to adopt unit testing. I'm interesting in learning new strategies to help with this.
