Course code: HP-1

Years with company: 28

Years programming: 37

Primary programming language: C

Other programming languages: C++, Assembly

Unit test harnesses: None

Something else: I build stuff with Arduinos as a hobby

Test practice now: On target hardware with semi-automated test scripts

Target system: Dozens of different ink jet printers with custom asics and custom smart chip solutions. Printers span a range of end user prices of $39 to $100000+.

Dev tools: Greenhills compiler, Multi debugger

Build time: 5-30 minutes

Coding standard: We have some old coding standards that are very loosely enforced

Function too long: LOL

Code reviews: We use Gerrit to do code reviews on every check in. This is automatically enforced as part of our check in process.

Code time: 50

Test time: 25

Debug time: 25

Favorite thing about dev: Writing code to solve interesting problems.

Least favorite thing about dev: Going to meetings and arguing about what the code should do. Making changes to products from 1 or 2 years ago (especially adding new features to old products, which is worse than fixing bugs in old products)

Tdd knowledge: Not much.

Why are you attending: 1. Management sent me 2. I actually want to know how to make this work with code that's very dependent on specialized hardware
