Course code: NEPT-1

Years with company: 0.833333333

Years programming: 15

Primary programming language: C

Other programming languages: C Sharp, C++, Verilog

Unit test harnesses: none

Something else: I'm an electrical engineer by trade and have realized that aside from niche or specific dimensions most PCB design will become a commodity. I have shifted gears to focus more on software.

Test practice now: I test my code by stepping through or via breakpoints.

Target system: MCUs

Dev tools: IAR compilers (ARM, MSP430), MLAB X, Linux

Build time: 1-5 minutes

Coding standard: In progress but leaning more towards Barr Group's standard

Function too long: C: Try to keep to 50-100 lines; C Sharp: Not sure yet..

Code reviews: Currently done via the build in Bitbucket interface

Code time: 30

Test time: 0

Debug time: 70

Favorite thing about dev: I like the idea that given one set of hardware, through software, that same hardware can be made to provide a wide range of possible experiences.

Least favorite thing about dev: It seems that sometimes things are deliberately difficult when it seems possible to be done in a simpler way.

Tdd knowledge: I am a near total noob.

Why are you attending: As I am new to the concept of (proper) programming, I don't know anything about Test Driven Development. I am here to learn and then apply it to my projects.
