Course code: VIAVI-1

Years with company: 17

Years programming: 24

Primary programming language: C++

Other programming languages: C, Java

Unit test harnesses: Google Mock (barely)

Something else: In my current role, I am a scrum master but still participate in some software development and code reviews. I'd like to be able to write and review unit tests.

Test practice now: Mostly integration level testing.

Target system: Embedded software running on telecommunication test equipment. Major components are test application, user interface, and FPGA.

Dev tools: Eclipse for editing. GNU compilers. Atlassian tools to induce anguish and frustration.

Build time: 1-5 minutes

Coding standard: My what now?

Function too long: A function is too what now?

Code reviews: We use Atlassian Fisheye + Crucible, one of their better tools, to distribute reviews to various engineers. Some take the time to review the code carefully. Most just scroll through it and approve it.

Code time: 40

Test time: 20

Debug time: 40

Favorite thing about dev: Well, when I get to do it which is rare, I enjoy the problem solving process as well as the creativity.

Least favorite thing about dev: Trying to figure out what somebody else did, especially when their code is arcane, poorly written, or not done the way I would do it.

Tdd knowledge: It stands for "Test Driven Development".

Why are you attending: So that I can learn how to write unit-testable code and write unit tests. That is the real answer. It's not "because my boss said so". I was the one who originally contacted Wingman of my own volition.
