Course code: ZEBRA-2

Years with company: 4

Years programming: 10

Primary programming language: Python

Other programming languages: C/C++, Perl, PHP

Unit test harnesses: Python's unittest2, UnitTestHarness (which I just discovered was written by you)

Something else: I like rock climbing, going to the beach, and playing with Kids toys with my son.

Test practice now: Mostly with acceptance tests written in Python or a home-grown acceptance test tool. Some build scripts are just run with a debug flag and the output validated.

Target system: Label/receipt printer that supports various printing languages and communication protocols.

Dev tools: QNX/GCC toolchain + Perl deployment scripts to a printer/VM

Build time: 1-5 minutes

Coding standard: C/C++ code has documented guidelines, build scripts have no standard.

Function too long: It doesn't fit in one page of the IDE.

Code reviews: Non-existent

Code time: 60

Test time: 10

Debug time: 30

Favorite thing about dev: I most enjoy solving problems and investigating bugs.

Least favorite thing about dev: I least enjoy API design as it can be frustrating to get the right balance of simplicity and flexibility.

Tdd knowledge: I don't know a lot about TDD but after working in engineering test, I know that the earlier tests are run the better.
