Target system: Embedded System using MicroChip controllers.

Dev tools: CCS IDE system

Build time: 1-5 minutes

Coding standard: Recent adoptation of Misra C

Function too long: Personally, if it is more than a screen page it is to long. Determination of when to create a function is when I need tor repeat the process more than 2 times.

Code reviews: local colleagues and a 3rd party resource. Been favorable, though high cyclomatic and cognitive scores

Favorite thing about dev: Creative and control aspects.

Least favorite thing about dev: IDE's and low level setup of the registers.

Tdd knowledge: Concept is a paradigm shift from what I have done before, but it is what I need in my current environment.

Why are you attending: Needed a break from company politics. New manager used TDD in previous employment and wants to see it happen here. I agreed with him after a 2 yr FW dev cycle that nearly burned me out. I see a lot of potential for improvement.
