Course code: BLUE-1

Years with company: 1

Years programming: 8

Primary programming language: Python

Other programming languages: MATLAB, C/C++, Java

Unit test harnesses: Python unittest, Pytest, JUnit, MATLAB unittest

Something else: I like to build robots

Test practice now: MATLAB unittest and Pytest (mostly have been working in MATLAB and Python recently)

Target system: Servers (for build tools) and embedded controllers (for flight code)

Dev tools: MATLAB IDE, Eclipse, Sublime, Jenkins, Git, Subversion

Build time: 1-5 minutes

Coding standard: Minimal standards for most tooling, company guide for flight code

Function too long: Depends on the context, but generally no more than 50 lines including comments

Code reviews: Varies by specific repo but usually GitLab reviews by 1-4 people

Code time: 40

Test time: 30

Debug time: 30

Favorite thing about dev: I get to work on interesting problems that have many possible solutions. I also like that it is possible to quickly iterate on and refactor solutions.

Least favorite thing about dev: Trying to remember specific syntax when switching between many languages, trying to remember all the various libraries available to use.

Tdd knowledge: Relatively little other than it stands for test driven design and it is a method where the design of a piece of software is based on the pre-written test cases for the code.

Why are you attending: I am interested because my job will soon be transitioning to writing more flight code and I want to have a better understanding of how to thoroughly test this code.
