Course code: CISCO-22

Years with company: 5

Years programming: 20

Primary programming language: C

Other programming languages: C++, Python, C#

Unit test harnesses: CPPU, gtest

Something else: Love the outdoors. Interested in physics and cosmology. I became a father last week - the mother is an astrophysicist! I own a high end virtual reality headset and I'm interested in tinkering with in Unity with that.

Test practice now: Component, Full stack, Continuous Integration. I've recently been introduced to the CPPU test framework.

Target system: set top box software for satellite broadcasters. Very large code base.

Dev tools: git, gerrit, eclipse, sublime, vim, continuous integration, jenkins, coverity

Build time: 30-60 minutes

Coding standard: I should probably look that up again.

Function too long: When you can't see it all on one page.

Code reviews: We use gerrit. Sometimes pair programming.

Code time: 30

Test time: 40

Debug time: 40

Favorite thing about dev: It's creative, I'm always learning.

Least favorite thing about dev: Nothing ever works first time. Maybe TDD can help with that :-)

Tdd knowledge: Can massively reduce test times. Much more iterative. Tightly coupled with development.

Why are you attending: It sounds like a good approach. My manager has been keen to get me on this for some time now.
