Course code: WEB-28

Years with company: 1

Years programming: 40

Primary programming language: C++

Other programming languages: C, Ada, perl, a little Python, java

Unit test harnesses: home grown, Jenkins

Something else: previously worked on real time embedded systems for defense avionics

Test practice now: current project has continuous testing; previously with unit test, integration, verification, validation; incremental development and integration

Target system: Zynq based with no OS and with Linux

Dev tools: Green Hills, Linux, Xilinx SDK, git, Jenkins, Visual Studio Code, Tera Term, Beyond Compare, PuTTY

Build time: 1-5 minutes

Coding standard: develop software similar to existing software

Function too long: when it doesn't make sense or tries to do more than one thing; should not be longer than 20-30 lines; I know the answer is supposed to be no more than 4 lines

Code reviews: informally review code before integrating into development branch; formal reviews later

Code time: 30

Test time: 30

Debug time: 10

Favorite thing about dev: It's creative and therapeutic. It's fun to solve problems, make things work and help others meet their goals.

Least favorite thing about dev: paperwork, schedule crunches, sometimes poor communication

Tdd knowledge: some from watching the clean code videos; write a test that fails before writing the code; our team is incorporating tdd

Why are you attending: I like the concept, I like to learn new approaches and would like to learn to do TDD effectively
