Course code: ELSTER-1
  • Years with company: 36 Years
  • Years programming: 22
  • Primary programming language: visual basic
  • Other programming languages: python
  • Unit test harnesses: custom
  • Something else: I am a firmware test engineer. I test the firmware for our product. I do not write firmware for our product.
  • Test practice now: Firmware test group test the firmware per requirement for the products and how firmware implemented the requirements
  • Target system: N/A
  • Dev tools: N/A
  • Build time: Under 10 seconds
  • Coding standard: We have a process of how the test scripts should look and what information should be in it.
  • Function too long: with more than 10 parameters or not easily readable
  • Code reviews: peers reviews the code
  • Code time: 60
  • Test time: 30
  • Debug time: 10
  • Favorite thing about dev: I write test scripts to test the product firmware as a black box (Testing inputs and outputs). Note: The above question answer is about writing test scripts.
  • Least favorite thing about dev: The changing of requirement that cause changes in the automated test scripts
  • Tdd knowledge: very little
  • Why are you attending: The reason management want me to attend is to see how I can leverage the concepts for firmware testing and not development of the firmware. I do not know C++
