Something else: I started working at astrocast few month ago. Glad to finaly work in a company where software testing is part of the work and not saying, if the software have bugs, that means that the engineers are not good enough. I enjoy a lot working in embedded software and Linux environment. I hate using debuggers, having good tests avoid loosing time with debuggers.

Test practice now: Unity for unit testing and a hardware in the loop test with inhouse python scripts.

Target system: A terminal using a stm32 mcu sending data from satellites.

Dev tools: arm-gcc, cmake, unity, cppcheck.

Build time: 5-30 minutes

Coding standard: We have a company coding standard (with spaces, ident, ...). Try to code easy to test functions, avoid global variables, passing as much in arguments.

Function too long: When the function can't be tested.

Code reviews: If the pull request is small, we found something to say. If the pull request is huge, sometimes, we juste accept it because it's too complexe to understand.

Code time: 70

Test time: 20

Debug time: 10

Favorite thing about dev: Learn new things every day. Complexe tasks. Embedded software became real software and not messy assembly programs.

Least favorite thing about dev: Using wrong tools. Try to use a code for days and finaly find that it's not working.

Tdd knowledge: including test in the development avoid the project to fail.

Why are you attending: Develop projects in a better way
