Training Preparation -- Current Practices of 100 Attendees

How do you test your code? What is your target system? What development tools do you use? What is your code review practice? How much time does it take to do an incremental build, load, and start running your code so you can start to test it? What percentage of your development time is spent coding? What percentage of your development time is spent testing? What percentage of your development time is spent debugging?

Still rely a lot on compiling the whole application and then testing the changed functionality by hand. We have some unit tests, but not enough to exercise all of the functionality. Split between web apps and cross platform (Windows/Linux) desktop applications that process SAE J1939/J1708 vehicle diagnostic messages. Visual Studio Code (Linux and Windows), Notepad++, Git/BitBucket, Jira Code reviews are required. They tend to be done individually by reviewers using BitBucket pull request functionality.

Manually. I write tests in LabVIEW. My test software communicates with the target device serially, mainly RS-232 and RS-485. We are currently designing a new line of smarter sensors. Target system will use ARM Cortex-M microcontroller from STM. We will use a BLE module to support iOS and Android mobile applications to configure and monitor our device. Old tools include Code Composer Studio from TI and MCUXpresso from NXP. We will use RUST and Cargo with VS Code as our IDE. I also use mixed signal oscilloscope regularly. In our old projects, code reviews are done in bulk. We have tried Mob programming recently to have continuous code reviews. 1-5 minutes 50 25 25 Show
Unit testing. On my (Agile) team, adding tests for all new code was encouraged but not required by policy, and there was a large legacy codebase without coverage, so we didn't see the full benefit of testing. Tests were run every commit by CI but not automatically on a dev workstation. I learned about TDD but never got the chance to put it into practice. Previously I have targeted STM32 as well as other ARM platforms, either on top of Linux, RTOS, or bare-metal. I'm most comfortable in vim but I can usually tune an IDE enough to be happy, when needed. I usually use a GCC or clang toolchain. Organized with GitLab using Merge Requests. Reviews required two approvals from team members as well as a successful CI build/test. 31-60 seconds 40% 30% 30% Show

We try to set up different stages: 1. Unit tests (e.g. Microsoft Visual Studio Unit testing - but not all projects are covered, yet) 2. Integration tests - right now executed manually we distinguish between stress tests, fault injection, boundary value, and error guessing. Jenkins CI is planned here in the future. 3. Acceptance tests - Finally we have a test report which we can hand (together with the system) to uninvolved people (e.g. Product managers) Depends on the project - most likely a 32 bit ARM Cortex Mx processor.

For most of my personal projects I do not employee any unit testing currently. I do not have a specific target system. I use visual studio code for all python programming. I use gcc from the command line and visual studio code for c programming. During my internship there was a CI/CD pipeline on our gitbucket server. Each time a push was made it would run all the tests and then you could review any code changes. The whole team reviewed all pushes to the repository at the end of each day. 31-60 seconds 6 1 3 Show

I spend most of my time testing by writing unit tests to verify the code under test is doing what I expect. Next I test the code in production to verify it's working as expected when integrated with the rest of the system. Currently writing software that runs on multiple platforms. We have to make sure we can write as much cross platform code as possible so that the same code can be reused on all platforms. Visual Studio, Visual Studio Code, Android Studio, Clang, CMake, Git, Windows Terminal, Docker, Windows Subsystem for Linux Everyone on our domain team gets added to the code review and is free to comment any suggestions.

There are a number of ways and it varies. New code is generally developed along with unit tests - these run as part of the build on the CI system. The unit tests either run the code natively on Windows/macOS or use a simulator for hardware specific functionality. There is an automated test harness using real hardware for end-to-end/integration tests. We have some great QA engineers who do manual testing and who develop automated tests. I do some manual testing while developing the code. I work with a legacy codebase and some of these testing methods have been relatively recently adopted - a lot of code is not under test...

VSCode, git, XMOS toolchain (including XGDB), xTag debugger, GoogleTest, lots of bash, Beagle USB analyser, Jenkins, Artifactory, YouTrack, make, cmake Code reviews vary from meetings to discuss the approach taken to fix a particular issue to using UpSource or using merge requests in GitLab.

New to company, they use CPPUnit. Past company we tested per requirements on a hardware rig, then we had a validation/test group that did formal testing, using custom scripting / hardware to exercise the software. It was for aviation related equipment; so we had to have a validation group certify the code and package it up to get sent to the FAA for approval. Lots of custom tools used to test that stuff.

Outside of work I try to use a unit test framework and I try and employ TDD. I have done the most TDD with Java and Junit, but try to use it when I can. Professionally I try to encourage our org to move in that direction more when possible but I am not directly coding very much as all there. Professionally our organization see's a wide variety of targets from enterprise servers to low level micro controllers of various types. Outside work: various microcontrollers from 8-bit atmels to 32bit arm and regular x86 architecture, Cortex-M0 tend towards lighter weight tools and command line, IDE wise I have used various including eclipse but trying vscode these days, jtag tools and compilers variants depending on specific controllers, mostly gcc based.

Before ceedling I'd often test code using print statements or toggle pins if testing on hardware. For timing critical testing I might throw test data into an array and print it all at the end. But that took a bit of extra work and system overhead. I really like Notepad++ My team only just formed and hammered out our code standard. We haven't had any code reviews yet, but plan to. 11-30 seconds 40% 40% 20% Show
Testing scripts which attach to the target via debug UART. These use python and Q_SPY Cortex M0/M3/M4 and Xilinx Zynq IAR/GCC SEGGER JTrace/Ozone for tracing Depending on the speed of the project, code reviews and architecture meetings are held with varying frequency. 11-30 seconds 20 30 50 Show

Most important is to design code as separate testable modules. I can then write a test program that pumps data through the modules and checks the outputs. ARM processor, battery powered, lots of sensors, radio communications. IAR (maybe Green Hills also) Project dependent. Some have none. Others have full up reviews in TeamForge + Gerrit. 1-5 minutes 70w/design 20 10 Show
Manual unit tests; full unit testing over time, sometimes with the aid of continuous integration with the embedded systems in the loop Various custom boards with mostly various ARM Cortex-M3/M4-based microcontrollers; FreeRTOS, bare metal, or QP, depending on project; mostly C, but sometimes C++ IAR or GCC Usually small sections get reviewed line-by-line 11-30 seconds 10% 60% 30% Show
unit tests, functional tests, performance tests c++, python xcode, visual studio, pycharm etc. Each code change is reviewed by reviewers of that code area. 31-60 seconds 70 15 15 Show
I write tons of runtime asserts, step through the code, then manual verification. This is followed up with black box testing. It's a cross platform (Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android) video editor. I work on the Win and Mac UI and a library that's shared across all platforms. Visual Studio, Xcode We use browser-based tool called Code Collaborator. It's not a good tool, and is downright hostile for reviews that end up having multiple revisions to any file. 1-5 minutes 40 30 30 Show
