Course code: WEB-27

Years with company: 9

Years programming: 10

Primary programming language: C

Other programming languages: C++

Unit test harnesses: google test, custom C component tests

Something else: I am a software developer. Most of my experience has been working on embedded C and very recently C++. Have worked for companies that develop middleware for set top boxes like Sky in Europe (similar to Comcast in US). Have spent a few years in-between as a fullstack integrator. Recently spending a lot time in interface designing type activities with the architects.

Test practice now: unit tests, integration tests and some times fullstack

Target system: Set top box

Dev tools: We use a whole lot of custom tools mostly lunix based. Git for version control, gerrit for review, jenkins for dev-ops

Build time: Under 10 seconds

Coding standard: Mostly follow google coding standards with a few exceptions

Function too long: It depends on the use. If its something like a thread function which is handling 20 messages it will be long yet difficult to shrink. On the other hand there could be one thats only 10 lines and 5 lines are repeated in 10 other places, thats long

Code reviews: use gerrit

Code time: 30

Test time: 50

Debug time: 20

Favorite thing about dev: Visualising how things work, writing code make it work

Least favorite thing about dev: writing tests unfortunately

Tdd knowledge: Not much, just the name Test Driven Development

Why are you attending: Want to know more than just the name. Its recommended by a lot of colleagues, want to understand how it can help me and my team
