Course code: DYNON-2

Years with company: .75

Years programming: 5

Primary programming language: C++

Other programming languages: C, C#, Python, Java, Bash

Unit test harnesses: Visual Studio Testing Framework, Google Test, CppUTest

Something else: I enjoy rock climbing.

Test practice now: A combination of running our CppUTest suite and manual testing.

Target system: An STM32 Microcontroller running no OS.

Dev tools: vim, Visual Studio Code, gcc, gdb, valgrind, eclipse, openocd

Build time: 5-30 minutes

Coding standard: Its mostly a set of tribal rules and best practices we all try to follow. We don't have an official codified standard but I try to follow ISO C++ Core Guidelines

Function too long: When I forget what it is supposed to do in the process of reading it.

Code reviews: All developers on a team are encouraged to participate in code reviews. A given PR cannot be merged unless it passes all Unit Tests in CI and has been approved by one or more developers and blocked by no one.

Code time: 30%

Test time: 20%

Debug time: 50%

Favorite thing about dev: The feeling of accomplishment of solving a complicated problem with no previous known solution. Bringing order to chaos.

Least favorite thing about dev: Spending hours looking for a problem in the wrong place because my initial assumptions about what to look for were wrong.

Tdd knowledge: It reduces re-occurrences of the most common errors developers introduce into code bases.

Why are you attending: I want to be able to write less shitty tests and see what "good" tests look like.
