Course code: QCOM-4

Years with company: 1

Years programming: 11

Primary programming language: C++

Other programming languages: C, Java, VHDL/SystemVerilog, some scripting languages

Unit test harnesses: CUnit

Something else: I enjoy low level programming, the closer to the hardware the better.

Test practice now: 1st stage: compiles correctly 2nd stage: code review 3rd stage: blackbox testing on target device

Target system: Android / Linux

Dev tools: Eclipse, vi

Build time: 1-5 minutes

Coding standard: We follow the Qualcomm specific rules for secure coding.

Function too long: Rule of thumb: If it is longer than one screen page.

Code reviews: We use gerrit to review code of peers in the final stage of development, i.e. shortly before release.

Code time: 20

Test time: 30

Debug time: 50

Favorite thing about dev: I like the quick feedback when a new feature is finally working.

Least favorite thing about dev: Debugging unknown code written by the open source community with the "sparse" comment style.

Tdd knowledge: TDD is a coding style where tests are implemented first. During each step in development, all tests have to be passing. It gives direct feedback to the developer. Drawbacks are a false feeling of security due to weak test coverage.

Why are you attending: To have more arguments for a paradigm shift in my team towards earlier testing. To use test driven development in my own work.
