Course code: GE-3

Years with company: 15

Years programming: 15+

Primary programming language: Visual Basic, LabView, C#

Other programming languages: C, PERL

Unit test harnesses: None

Something else: Software that I develop currently are small-medium applications for internal use. Automation tools, etc.

Test practice now: Consequences of bugs are low because software is for internal use by a small group. Testing is limited. I led MeterMate group years ago, and we did peer reviews of ALL code changes, and some white box testing, but nothing too structured.

Target system: Generally Windows applications, but interested in meter firmware

Dev tools: Visual Studio

Build time: 31-60 seconds

Coding standard: NA

Function too long: Should be limited to a single "function" or operation. Generally should fit on one screen.

Code reviews: Author of change sits down with printout and explains changes to peer reviewer line by line.

Code time: 75%

Test time: 10%

Debug time: 15%

Favorite thing about dev: Breaking down problems into logical pieces. I get a lot of satisfaction from creating neat, well organized, and maintainable code that solves a real business need. I enjoy solving problems for others with software.

Least favorite thing about dev: Documentation (other than code comments), spending too much time testing.

Tdd knowledge: Not much
