Years with company:
1
Years programming:
35
Primary programming language:
C
Other programming languages:
C++, Python
Unit test harnesses:
cpptest
cpputest
google-test
pytest
Something else:
Background is mostly embedded and device drivers
Test practice now:
TDD for new projects - personal projects
Integrated system test for legacy code at work
Target system:
Legacy C (Linux kernel) C++ (Linux daemon)
Dev tools:
CLion
Vim
CMake
Git
Jenkins
Build time:
5-30 minutes
Coding standard:
Use clang-format to enforce most style rules.
Use compiler warnings, clang-tidy, & additional CLion annotations (like cpp-core-guidelines)
Keep naming conventions consistent with existing code.
Make it and keep it lint-free
Function too long:
When it does more than one thing
Code reviews:
Review by two other developers required for all commits, enforced by Gitlab.
Code time:
5
Test time:
20
Debug time:
15
Favorite thing about dev:
Its like solving a puzzle. I know what I want the result to be, then I have to figure out how to get there.
Least favorite thing about dev:
Waiting for ... build, test, reviews, approval to ship
Tdd knowledge:
I've done lots of near TDD over the last 10 years (short code test cycles). Only recently have I done true test first TDD.
Why are you attending:
Team-building with newer employees. First time I told my boss no, waste of my time. Felt I had to say yes this time.
My problem right now is working with legacy code that is full of stability, quality, and performance problems.
