Course code: DEV-1

Years with company: 1.5

Years programming: 15

Primary programming language: C

Other programming languages: C#, Python, PHP

Unit test harnesses: NUnit, Visual Studio built-in testing, CUnit

Something else: I like to test out new technologies and latest gadgets. Enjoy taking things apart to see how they work. I like hiking, cycling and travelling. I developed SW for industrial equipment for 14 years (C#, PLC ladder diagrams, various scripting languages). After that decided to continue in embedded development (automotive).

Test practice now: CUnit/CMock (customized solution that fits best the Stoneridge needs)

Target system: Renesas RH850 & Renesas V850

Dev tools: IAR, Eclipse (C/C++ package), Visual Studio, gcc

Build time: 31-60 seconds

Coding standard: In-house standard that defines structure of code and

Function too long: >200 lines, tries to do multiple things that could be extracted to a separate method

Code reviews: Peer-review. Codestriker

Code time: 35

Test time: 40

Debug time: 25

Favorite thing about dev: Possibility to create solutions that actually help people solve real world challenges and at the same time always learn something new.

Least favorite thing about dev: Not much really. Perhaps when 3rd party tools are crashing/buggy and/or shaky requirements.

Tdd knowledge: I have not used TDD in projects. Bare minimum knowledge - 1st create testcase and only after that implement code just enough to pass my test. Over time iterate 1 to N times by enhancing test (making code fail) and then updating code to pass again.

Why are you attending: Reviewed many opportunities and decided to opt for training because I wanted to learn an alternative approach of development + lessen amount of software defects. Good training website and praises from attendees were also important factor.
