Course code: WEB-9
  • Years with company: 23
  • Years programming: 23
  • Primary programming language: C
  • Other programming languages: Delphi and a little C#
  • Unit test harnesses: None
  • Something else: I enjoyed scuba diving (family permitting), cycling and photography.
  • Test practice now: Execute functionality with diagnostics
  • Target system: It's a vehicle installed unit with a a Kinetis K70 (ARM Cortex-M4) processor and sensors
  • Dev tools: IAR
  • Build time: 11-30 seconds
  • Coding standard: It is based on the MISRA C
  • Function too long: When it doesn't fit on the screen is a good rule
  • Code reviews: We currently use Upsource. All new blocks of functionality are reviewed.
  • Code time: 50
  • Test time: 30
  • Debug time: 20
  • Favorite thing about dev: I like it when the complete process runs smoothly and the customer is happy. This includes functional requirements, design, code and test.
  • Least favorite thing about dev: When we give up on the design and future changes / debugging is difficult.
  • Tdd knowledge: I've read bits of your book and 2 of my colleagues use I, but I've not had a chance to try it yet.
  • Why are you attending: Within the team I haven't used it, another struggled using it with a large chunk of existing code that was been changed and the remaining 2 I believe are hoping to learn something to make it easier for them.
