Course code: INFA-002

Years with company: 20

Years programming: 27

Primary programming language: C++

Other programming languages: C, python

Unit test harnesses: boost.test, catch, catch2, xUnit, pytest, gtest/gmock

Something else: I work remote, somewhere in the middle of the Atlantic.

Test practice now: - Primarily unit tests (in gtest) - Secondary: system tests using a python based framework (built on top of pytest). - Manual tests on running system

Target system: Distributed embedded system (but no real limitations to memory allocation or exceptions).

Dev tools: IDE (Clion+IDE), sourcetrail, main project toolchain (debian12 gcc). Codescene, Coverity, copilot

Build time: 1-5 minutes

Coding standard: C++17

Function too long: Starts to feel too complex (over a screen, too many control-flow branches). Codescene also warns.

Code reviews: Our agile team is heavily invested in code reviews.

Code time: 60%

Test time: 30%

Debug time: 10%

Favorite thing about dev: Allows me to express my creativity, feels like LEGO for adults (it we get the modularity right).

Least favorite thing about dev: Lagging tools (C++ was stale for too long), debugging, memory corruption ...

Tdd knowledge: I have been using it for over 15 years, also am aware of ATDD (not using it now)

Why are you attending: Got asked by management, personally hoping to learn (or refresh) my knowledge as well.
