Course code: WEB-19

Years with company: 10

Years programming: 12

Primary programming language: C

Other programming languages: C# Python Java

Unit test harnesses: Unity GoogleTest nUnit

Something else: Most of my work currently involves wireless communication stacks.

Test practice now: Unit tests for small modules. System tests, generally using a PC tool automating one end of the communication link.

Target system: Nordic nRF52 series (ARM Cortex-M4)

Dev tools: GCC Eclipse Visual Studio for PC test tools.

Build time: 31-60 seconds

Coding standard: In house coding standard

Function too long: When it does more than one thing, when it is hard to nail down what the function actually does when documenting it.

Code reviews: Formal part of our software development process, using Gerrit. All code requires at least one reviewer to approve before integration.

Code time: 20

Test time: 60

Debug time: 20

Favorite thing about dev: The flexibility! You can take the same hardware and create an entirely different functionality just by changing the software.

Least favorite thing about dev: Flexibility is a double edged sword. It is easy to do quick modifications to make a software design do something it was not intended to, introducing unintended consequences.

Tdd knowledge: Read the book "Test Driven Development for Embedded C"

Why are you attending: I want to reduce how often we are required to perform full system level testing, so small changes can be validated without requiring a large amount of effort.
