Course code: 3SI-001

Years with company: 12

Years programming: 40

Primary programming language: C

Other programming languages: Assembler

Unit test harnesses: Ceedling

Something else: Most of my background is with "bare metal" programming. When I started programming in the mid 80's, MCU's were small and development tools were sparse. I coded only in assembler, and still find it hard to not worry about wasting bytes when I code.

Test practice now: Always test behavior in system after code is written. Varies depending on function, but may include using printf statements or debugger breakpoints.

Target system: Asset tracking device using ARM Cortex MCU

Dev tools: GNU C Compiler, GDB debugger

Build time: 1-5 minutes

Coding standard: We develop an agreed-upon coding standard before starting a project, but it is not enforced

Function too long: Probably when it contains elements that can be easily broken down into other smaller functions

Code reviews: We use a web-based code reviewer to perform peer reviews before every commit to our trunk.

Code time: 60

Test time: 25

Debug time: 15

Favorite thing about dev: Finding creative ways to solve problems

Least favorite thing about dev: Unrealistic deadlines, unstable requirements, and having too many constraints on how I code

Tdd knowledge: All I know about TDD is that tests are written before writing any code
