Course code: WEB-10

Years with company: 25 years

Years programming: 39 years

Primary programming language: C

Other programming languages: Visual Basic

Unit test harnesses: unity

Something else: I am working at continuous improvement in our software processes and quality. I am already seeing the benefits but see that where we have failed to implement TDD we are seeing bugs that would have been prevented. I took the onsite course a year ago and want a refresher as we have not fully embraced it.

Test practice now: Functional regression testing. We started on module with TDD but discontinued using because not enough people are on board. We also use LINT.

Target system: Water heater user interface and safety code

Dev tools: Freescale/NXP Kinetis Developement System (Eclipse based)

Build time: 11-30 seconds

Coding standard: Our standare is based on implementing a somewhat object oriented modular apprach using C. The standard reflects a number of recommended standards and is updated periodically

Function too long: We have no standard but when it gets more than about 3 pages long.

Code reviews: We use CodeCollaboarator on a daily basis. Several people review every piece of code generated.

Code time: 40%

Test time: 30%

Debug time: 30%

Favorite thing about dev: No parts to go obsolete/scarce or vary with temperature. :) I like being creative and making some new product or features and watch it come alive.

Least favorite thing about dev: Reviewing others code. Debugging linking problems. MISRA-C (MISERABLE-C) picky or arcane errors. Fixing others poor code.

Tdd knowledge: I took your 3 day course. I use Unity. It can eliminate a whole class of defects, save debug time. & catch future bugs. I like "how can I break it" thinking

Why are you attending: As a refresher and two be with two colleagues who I presented this to last year who did not get a chance to really embrace it.
