Course code: MEG-2

Years with company: 9.7

Years programming: 42

Primary programming language: C#

Other programming languages: C, C++, Java, Perl, PowerShell, bash, Javascript/Typescript

Unit test harnesses: NUnit, VisualStudio built-in stuff

Something else: I took a great TDD course over a decade ago, used to do TDD, now occasionally almost do TDD, but not regularly.

Test practice now: With great difficulty. Unit testing not included in the code base, mostly; impractical to retrofit. I often change some small piece of complex calculations, validating results is hard. For more re-usable, general, new components, I unit test.

Target system: Windows (desktop, some embedded stuff), and other embedded platforms (with no OS).

Dev tools: mostly Visual Studio, some IaR embedded workbench, some Android Studio.

Build time: 31-60 seconds

Coding standard: Follow existing conventions and/or do what makes sense.

Function too long: I notice that a section in a function forms a logical step that could be separated out.

Code reviews: I asked once for a code review here, got nothing. No one has ever asked me to do code review here.

Code time: 6

Test time: 2

Debug time: 2

Favorite thing about dev: Creativity: I enjoy being responsible for good ideas that bless others in appreciable ways.

Least favorite thing about dev: Those intractable portions of frameworks that are ill-documented and/or do not work as they should.

Tdd knowledge: Code a test that fails, write the code it tests so that it passes, then refactor, move on.

Why are you attending: I might learn some helpful tips/tools for being able to do more TDD, or possible DI/IoC for apps.
