Course code: DYNON-1

Years with company: 13

Years programming: 30

Primary programming language: C

Other programming languages: perl

Unit test harnesses: CppUTest

Something else: I use vi, what else do you need? ;) John Aaron is a steely eyed missile man.

Test practice now: An extensive but manual process involving debugger verifications, regressions, and end to end test both in a simulated and real-world environment.

Target system: Embedded Linux and bare-metal ARM.

Dev tools: vi, gdb, cscope, Qt Creator, unix

Build time: 11-30 seconds

Coding standard: I personally use K&R for C.

Function too long: When adding lines to reduce obfuscation reaches diminishing returns.

Code reviews: Informal; usually a second set of eyeballs and a walk-through. Sometimes exhaustive, sometimes not.

Code time: 25%

Test time: 50%

Debug time: 25%

Favorite thing about dev: Being in the zone.

Least favorite thing about dev: Being out of the zone.

Tdd knowledge: That it's a methodology for developing code by creating tests prior to writing a chunk of code.

Why are you attending: Testing is hard and it's essential and I want it to be better, more reliable and more often performed. If it's also easier that'd be great.
