Course code: BAX-1
  • Years with company: 5
  • Years programming: 30
  • Primary programming language: C++
  • Other programming languages: Fortran, Ada
  • Unit test harnesses: VectorCast
  • Something else: Enjoy bicycling and watching soccer
  • Test practice now: Manual test procedures, unit tests written in VectorCast by engineers other than the developers
  • Target system: imx6/ARM
  • Dev tools: Cygwin
  • Build time: 5-30 minutes
  • Coding standard: Lackadaisical
  • Function too long: Generally SLOCs, should be cyclomatic complexity
  • Code reviews: Not a big believer in code reviews
  • Code time: 50
  • Test time: 25
  • Debug time: 25
  • Favorite thing about dev: Making systems do new things
  • Least favorite thing about dev: Remaking systems do new things because someone didn't tell me the correct requirements up front
  • Tdd knowledge: Not all that much.
  • Why are you attending: Believe it or not, I'm really hoping that we can shift to a paradigm where all developers must unit test (and maintain those tests) their code. Right now, our unit tests mostly verify that the system runs as implemented.
