Years with company: 27

Years programming: 29

Primary programming language: C

Other programming languages: Simulink

Unit test harnesses: ~

Something else: I am a Technical Leader. I am management rank on the technical ladder, so I rarely write code these days, but I guide and direct teams who do write code.

Test practice now: integration software-in-the-loop or target processor and hardware testing

Target system: Floating point processors for production Powertrain Control

Dev tools: ~

Build time: 5-30 minutes

Coding standard: internally developed standards

Function too long: ~

Code reviews: widely varying

Code time: ~

Test time: ~

Debug time: ~

Favorite thing about dev: the ability to get rapid feedback

Least favorite thing about dev: watching people sling code and then let someone else test and debug for them, or debug once everything is integrated

Tdd knowledge: I can draw the process diagrams

Why are you attending: To understand TDD and the mindset change required so that I can advise management that is not familiar with TDD and be a change agent in a large organization that develops tests at the end (if at all) .
