Course code: AS-1

Years with company: 0

Years programming: 13

Primary programming language: C++

Other programming languages: C, RUST, ASM

Unit test harnesses: Gtest, Gmock, munit (unit with a greek mu)

Something else: I'm also a musician, I enjoy running and the outdoors. I read a lot of books. I enjoy making hardware-firmware hobby projects in my spare time with micro-controllers and embedded linux systems.

Test practice now: GTest

Target system: Not sure, I'm a new engineer at this company.

Dev tools: VSCode, mingw, gdb/make/ninja, arm toolchain.

Build time: 1-5 minutes

Coding standard: Not sure, I'm a new engineer at this company.

Function too long: Too many levels of indentation. Or - it's difficult to unit test (in that it's difficult to test it as one "unit", and requires convoluted integration-level tests to cover all codepaths.

Code reviews: Not sure, I'm a new engineer at this company.

Code time: 40%

Test time: 40%

Debug time: 20%

Favorite thing about dev: Solving complex problems, and the joy of a functioning system.

Least favorite thing about dev: Time constraints!

Tdd knowledge: I've watched (and read) some Uncle Bob (Robert Martin), and his red-green-refactor method. I also followed strict TDD methodologies at my previous company.

Why are you attending: Self improvement (really!). I've seen the direct benefit of TDD in embedded systems at my previous company, and would like to continue my growth in this area. Now that I have this knowledge, working in a legacy untested codebase is so nerve wracking.
