Years with company: >1

Years programming: 8

Primary programming language: C

Other programming languages: C++ Python TypeScript Dart

Unit test harnesses: Ceedling

Something else: n/a

Test practice now: Manual functional / behavioral test suite I started at Whisker as a FW QA Engineer in July, I have become familiar with Ceedling and am in process of adding unit test capabilities to FW team.

Target system: Main MCU is PIC but is being phased out with STM32, all targets have companion ESP32 for Wi-Fi.

Dev tools: VSCode Espressif's ESP-IDF STM32CubeIDE

Build time: 1-5 minutes

Coding standard: Not established

Function too long: When it can become modular or easily separated into discrete steps.

Code reviews: Have not participated in one, but have recently set forth a plan to make this a regular occurance.

Code time: n/a

Test time: n/a

Debug time: n/a

Favorite thing about dev: Solving problems, Exercising creativity,

Least favorite thing about dev: Firmware can be frustrating because of non-intuitive SDKs, clunkiness of building, flashing/debug

Tdd knowledge: Unit tests are created during planning for new code, and unit tests guide development of code.

Why are you attending: Our firmware group at Whisker plans on adopting TDD to consistently deliver quality firmware.
