Function too long: When it is running more than a couple of pages (100+ lines)

Code reviews: Internal code reviews based on internal review tool

Code time: 20

Test time: 30

Debug time: 50

Favorite thing about dev: I like programming, designing and creating code without bugs.

Least favorite thing about dev: Repetitive changes, fear of regression due to enhancements. One of the reasons for joining this course if it can automate UT as much as possible.

Tdd knowledge: Almost nothing. Only thing I know is that testing should be in focus before writing code rather than afterwards. And code should be written as a test target.

Why are you attending: To write code which can be automated for UT so that further enhancements are less boring/time consuming doing the same tests repeatedly.
