Course code: SP-EC-02

Years with company: 1

Years programming: 5

Primary programming language: C

Other programming languages: Python, Javascript, dabbled in C#, C++, Rust

Unit test harnesses: None really, have used a simple test harness written by colleague, not strictly for unit tests

Something else: I spent most of my youth playing World of Warcraft.

Test practice now: Running the code on hardware (or a dev board if no hardware) and observing the behaviour. If I encounter a problem as the device runs I will single out a function or functions and maybe write some code to explicitly test them. Very much test-after.

Target system: STM32 micros, typically for IoT style devices.

Dev tools: STM32CubeIDE, Git.

Build time: 31-60 seconds

Coding standard: We use a subset of Barr Group embedded C standard.

Function too long: Doesn't fit on a page (need to scroll screen to read it all).

Code reviews: We have a rough procedure for performing code reviews but it isn't really done.

Code time: 49

Test time: 2

Debug time: 49

Favorite thing about dev: Creating something,solving a problem.Seeing something you've spent effort on/struggled with working.

Least favorite thing about dev: Pain of something not working or breaking intermittently and not knowing why, esp. under time pres.

Tdd knowledge: It involves writing tests before writing code.

Why are you attending: Write better code; not having obscure bugs pop up late in a project and blow out timeline and stress
