Course code: CIRQ-1
  • Years with company: 27
  • Years programming: 36
  • Primary programming language: c
  • Other programming languages: assembler, c++, scripts
  • Unit test harnesses: none
  • Something else: I prefer the simple solution.
  • Test practice now: Test if it does what I meant for it to do.
  • Target system: embedded microcontrollers with lots of human and computer real time input
  • Dev tools: lots
  • Build time: 1-5 minutes
  • Coding standard: my own, varies depending on application
  • Function too long: length is not a useful criterion
  • Code reviews: they are pro forma and a waste of time (they happen too late in the process)
  • Code time: 10
  • Test time: 10
  • Debug time: 30
  • Favorite thing about dev: solving problems
  • Least favorite thing about dev: constantly being forced to use someone else's crappy code
  • Tdd knowledge: what I read in the first few chapters of Test Driven Development for Embedded C
  • Why are you attending: management plan for our group
