Course code: WEB-33

Years with company: 23

Years programming: 23

Primary programming language: Java

Other programming languages: Javascript, Python,C++,C

Unit test harnesses: JUnit,Pytest,Jest

Something else: I have 7 kids, former musician. My aspiration is to get deeper into technical coaching.

Test practice now: I work mostly in mobs. Most of my coding in my current job is during katas. We use TDD with cyber-dojo. I would like to take TDD katas to the embedded world. The embedded developers in my area do MIL/SIL testing. There also are validation teams upstream who do a combination of manual and automated testing.

Target system: The area I work in develops Autosar based C code for embedded vehicle ECUs. 70% is model based, 30% is hand coded.

Dev tools: Matlab, Embedded Coder, Simulink,BTC Tester, Target Link

Build time: 1-2 hours

Coding standard: There are strict standards based on regulations. I know there are coding stds but I dont have the details.

Function too long: If its more than half a page.

Code reviews: Peer code reviews are a mandatory step for all code. They also review models and data dictionaries.

Code time: 50

Test time: 25

Debug time: 25

Favorite thing about dev: I like the feeing of accomplishment when something works.

Least favorite thing about dev: nothing

Tdd knowledge: Worked with it a lot in coding katas. Red green refactor cycle. It has a deep impact on the design of the system.

Why are you attending: Because I want to become a technical coach. My current job is in the embedded space and I would like to be able to help developers adopt TDD to improve the design, quality and fun in our systems.
