Course code: WEB-11

Years with company: 6

Years programming: 25+

Primary programming language: C#

Other programming languages: C/C++/Java

Unit test harnesses: NUnit, MSTest, JUnit, TUT, TUX

Something else: I started working with analog and digital electronics, firmware development such as drivers and embedded applications. Now I have more focus on windows applications, tests and build systems.

Test practice now: The most of the testing done is on a system level but some of the tests are low level unit tests. The test are automated an runs in our build system.

Target system: The target system is an instrument running firmware multiple processors platforms written in C/C++. Clients are .NET applications and C++ running on windows desktop systems.

Dev tools: Visual Studio 2008.

Build time: 1-2 hours

Coding standard: We do not have a common coding standard today.

Function too long: When I can't quickly get the whole picture what the function does. This specially is a problem when it contains many different paths.

Code reviews: We are working on improving the code review process. Most of the work is not reviewed.

Code time: 30

Test time: 60

Debug time: 10

Favorite thing about dev: Creative, it's stimulating to build something from an idea and get it working.

Least favorite thing about dev: It's never finished, there is always something that could be better.

Tdd knowledge: I have learned about TDD in a course and read some articles. We have also tried to work test driven in some parts of our project.

Why are you attending: I'm not working with the embedded firmware on a daily base but I think it is important that we have a common base to be able to work together. I like the concept of TDD, the times I tried it it works very well and I would like to do it more often.
