Show |
| because I feel I can be a better developer by having better testing strategies and by changing the wayI think about testing code.
and oh, free lunch for a week! |
Show |
| I need to know all the test case of failures even in simple code which in turn will improve my code ineffiecient and a robust way |
Show |
| because it would give me good knowledge of good practices |
Show |
| 60% - my metier required this course
40% - the idea of a software "testbench" is actually really cool, I wonder how useful it is in embedded environment. I am curious. |
Show |
| The team leader arranged it and I'm happy to attend because I want to know more about embedded coding. |
Show |
| to know how we can limit the time and utilise same resources to work in a TDD environment and how best we can use it for reducing bugs in our code; |

| I really want to know how to write tests for code. |
Show |
| Mandotary |
Show |
| I was surprised by it but it sounded relevant. |
Show |
| I don't consider myself a coding "guru". So, if there is an opportunity to learn something new, I'm in! |
Show |
| Want to learn about TDD and how it related to embedded development |
Show |
| interested in tdd and hope to learn something useful that I can apply in my current job. |
Show |
| The real answer is that I will take any training that is offered and has a potential of advancing my knowledge and making me more marketable. I think this class will help me be a faster and more accurate developer. |
Show |
| Need to refresh my coding skills |
Show |
| To help my other teammates that are also doing the training and to learn a thing or two (there are always more things to learn). |
Show |

Show |
| I want to try and convince my organization that TDD increases quality, decreases rework, and can be used in a certified software environment. |
Show |
| Dale recommended it to me, and I view it as a way of learning about ways to better design for and test software, and see if/how it can be beneficial. |
Show |
| I have seen a number of process changes deployed and failed. I am looking to better understand what is truly required to effectively deploy and what to expect |
Show |
| I'm expecting that this session would be of some help in developing a robust code with minimum defects and offer me some guidance in keeping my code modularized so that the code can be re-used on future hardware platforms too. |
Show |
| I would like to be a trainer of TDD and to ensure our new project does not fall into the old habbits that is not TDD. |
Show |
| assigned training |
Show |
| sub for my peer |
Show |
| to develop and unit test new project and ofcourse learn a new approach toward writing a software with minimum bug . |
Show |
| Interested in understanding how to structure code to make it easier to test - something which has been a real struggle over the last 18 months |
Show |
| Want to improve my software productivity |
Show |
| Refresher, not used TDD in anger, want to get better at writing tests |
Show |
| Because following practices similar to TDD for MATLAB algorithm development would be beneficial for the quality of the results. |
Show |
| Think I can learn some very state of the art techniques |
Show |
| I was told to! Having said that it does look like a very interesting approach for new projects. |
Show |
| the whole s/w team is attending |
Show |
| part of company activity and to learn more about TDD |
Show |
| To improve the architecture of my program to allow for better testing. (Honestly!). |
Show |
| My manager asked for volunteers. I heard the class was worth going to from previous attendees so I volunteered. |
Show |
| Company is adopting this TDD philosophy for code development. I want to know how to do it properly so I cam rely it to my other team members. |
Show |
| No one else in my group volunteered. |
Show |
| To hopefully learn some new techniques that will make development and long-term maintenance more efficient. |
Show |
| - |
Show |
| to get formal training in TDD and to see that we're using standard TDD development process in our development process. |
Show |
| My boss suggested it, and it seemed like a good idea, also he said it wasn't optional. |
Show |
| As part of a company sponsored training course |
Show |
| My boss told me to, and I'd rather be taking a class than doing my day-to-day job. |
Show |
| We, as a team, have decided to use TDD going forward on our new products making use of TI chips like Concerto. The other members of the team are already using TDD; one of the members took your course and promoted the technique. |
Show |
| I hope you can give an acceptable response to my previous answer. |
Show |
| Improve my skills and abilities |
Show |
| To get some formal training on TDD. |
Show |
| My supervisor signed me up for the class. |
Show |
| This is something new being discussed around the company so if we have to start using it I'd like to know more about it. |
Show |
| Determine if there is any new developments/features to better enable TDD for embedded platforms which has been a short coming for TDD for a while. Methods for simulating hardware events in a TDD environment. |
Show |
| - |
Show |
| I want to learn |
Show |
| I am taking this to understand the fundamentals for pushing this methodology through our processes and understand any naming conventions to speak the same language the other trainees are starting to mention. |
Show |
| because I think I have to |
Show |
| 1. Renew TDD concepts
2. Possibly learn how TDD could be used with hardware based systems (typically embedded systems)? |
Show |
| To get an understanding of TDD and determine if it can be used in our environment for product developement |
Show |
| to know more |
Show |
| I want to see how to bring our functions with 1000 lines under test. |
Show |
| Because my tests and the way to come to the test could be improved. |
Show |
| get the same understanding as the team. |
Show |
| I want to learn how to develop better software in less time. |
Show |
| I was proposed to attend to this training to improve module test skills |
Show |
| I want to be able to ensure that any high level designs are testable and that our work flow is optimised to find bugs as early as possible. |
Show |
| I hope to learn better concepts and better strategies, in order to detect what the important bits are (not quantity, but quality of the tests). |
Show |
| It was planned for me. I would really like to know more about TDD testing as to complete my vision.
|
Show |
| to learn more skills |
Show |
| What is input to start the work?
What is the quantity of test needed in beginning of work/feature set?
How can it help in finding all bug in early stage?
|
Show |
| To get to know tdd better. |
Show |
| Because I get the cahnge to attent. I am interested to get new ideas how to improve the developing |
Show |
| To combine my testing skills with future scripting/coding. |
Show |
| to improve my software design/debugging and testing skills.
To decrease bugs related to my code.
i'm a bad programmer. |
Show |
| Reduce debug time |
Show |
| Mandatory, but I am curious about the process |
Show |
| Hoping to improve sw development processes. |
Show |
| company mandated |
Show |
| Because my boss told me to do so. Also I thought it might help me be a better developer. |
Show |
| It is required training. |
Show |
| supervisor thinks it's helpful |
Show |
| To be a better programmer |
Show |
| I want to ensure the FW developer and myself are on the same page as to what should be unit tested. |
Show |
| To learn how to test my code more effectively and efficiently |
Show |
| I am new to this organization and this was suggested as good training. |
Show |
| Wanted to find out what TDD is all about and learn about improving code quality. |
Show |
| Two reasons:
1) Boss said I had to, but also
2) I *love* code. Anything that helps me do a better job is worth learning. |
Show |
| to see how things should/could be done and see the differences between what I am doing, sometimes a good idea could save tons of time in debugging, for example, which direction to go when debugging. |
Show |
| Upper management required this course - I was told to do it. |
Show |
| to learn something different and new |
Show |
| Management requested |
Show |
| Mandatory since our illustrious leadership thinks this TDD will solve all of their woes. |
Show |
| To know how it helps our project development. |
Show |
| Have to. |
Show |
| Required |
Show |
| Commanded by management. |
Show |
| Boss asked me to attend the training |
Show |
| It's mandatory |
Show |
| I want to learn about concept, technique of implementing built-in self-test code. |
Show |
| Highly recommended |
Show |
| I am investing in my career and ability to deliver high quality product to my employer. |
Show |
| To improve my development and testing skills, for the benefit of myself and my company. |
Show |
| I asked to attend so that I could hopefully learn how to write code that is more easily tested and automate the test process to save time. Hopefully get more peace of mind when shipping software because I know that the code is well tested. |
Show |
| I want to introduce Test Driven Development into our software processes to improve the quality of my code and decrease the time debugging and testing. |
Show |
| To evaluate the class to see if we want to bring an instructor to our company to teach the whole department. |
Show |
| I would like to improve the quality of not just my own embedded software, but our whole company's. |
Show |
| Trying to incorporate better software practices into our company |

Show |
| Learn more about agile and test driven development |
Show |
| To understand the test driven development |
Show |
| To broaden my coding skills. |
Show |
| Trying to learn techniques to deliver better code faster in both this and the Agile course. I sold my manager on the idea of sending me and the other four guys. |
Show |
| Learn more about implementing TDD efficiently so I can start using it immediately |
Show |
| TDD for "web development" is all over the place and you can find all you want about it on the web, for embedded it's a lot harder to get information, this looks like a great chance to get some real solid knowledge of TDD |
Show |
| Reviewed many opportunities and decided to opt for training because I wanted to learn an alternative approach of development + lessen amount of software defects. Good training website and praises from attendees were also important factor. |
Show |
| To learn something new. |
Show |
| Overall SW training in the company, but I am really happy that I can attend in this course and learn new things. |
Show |
| I have used TDD on developing PC software. Good to know how it is done for embedded platforms. |
Show |
| Got funding from local unemployment office and it seemed as the only training that made any sense to attend. Strong presenter, interesting and relevant topic. I see room for improvement for myself using TDD. |
Show |
| - to be able to write code that has better testability.
- to see development from different angle and to learn from it. |
Show |
| I want to learn how to apply TDD on C++ better. Compared to Java it is often a lot more complex. Especially when adding new features to legacy code. I mostly want to learn about good stubbing and mocking practices. |
Show |
| Because I believe TDD make me write better code - but I know I can improve my TDD skills - especially in terms of test maintainability... |
Show |
| learn to make better embedded code. |
Show |
| to get more robust code |
Show |
| I want to improve! |
Show |
| I would like to start using TDD properly. Really. |
Show |
| To learn mora about TDD, and maybe start implement it in our SW. |
Show |
| My boss wanted four attendees from our department, and since only three volunteered I was asked to also join. (I agreed.) |
Show |

Show |
| understand the benefit of TDD, and how to introduce it to my team. |
Show |
| Company arrange this class for me, it is good to learn new development apporach. I think it helpful to improve development efficiency by adopting this approach in my daily work. |
Show |
| For testing team, we need to know how the TDD run in the developer team. |
Show |
| improve the work efficiency |
Show |
| assigned to. |
Show |
| don't know |
Show |
| for lean more skills |
Show |
| To get more insight about TDD |
Show |
| I was nominated. |
Show |
| Hoping it will help facilitate faster and more reliable testing in the future. |
Show |
| to gain some potentially helpful information and because my boss is making me |
Show |
| To learn a little about TDD but mostly because I was told to. |
Show |
| Someone else signed me up. |
Show |
| I believe 100% in TDD and want to learn formally on the subject. |
Show |
| I want to learn about TDD concepts, so that I can understand the benefits, the methodology, and bring back the concepts to my team. |
Show |
| Bosses wanted to find out if this is something the organization can/should adopt |
Show |
| I was told to attend. |
Show |
| To get some exposure to some actual methods and hopefully tools to help accomplish TDD |
Show |
| To get the right mindset and authority to bring a test-driven mentality to my team. |
Show |
| na |
Show |
| To learn more about the specific techniques I can use on my projects to reduce the time we spend fixing bugs. |
Show |
| to see what James' train couches are like |
Show |
| have a better coding style, and write robust code for sure |
Show |
| Trying to guide the team toward TDD |
Show |
| Required corse |
Show |
| The reason management want me to attend is to see how I can leverage the concepts for firmware testing and not development of the firmware. I do not know C++ |
Show |
| Company initiative and really to learn something new. I always like to learn new ways and to compare it with the old ways and then pick the best one ... or combine them. |
Show |
| To gain more knowledge |
Show |
| Company is looking to establish TDD practices for firmware development. |
Show |
| to learn to test more efficiently that leads to better code development |
Show |
| told to attend by management |
Show |
| Because it would be a great learning experience, and something I could learn to implement. |
Show |
| Improve development skills. |
Show |
| Bosses think it is the latest greatest thing. |
Show |
| Required by managment |
Show |
| To learn more about tdd |
Show |
| am learning C now |
Show |
| required by management. |
Show |
| learn more about how we can apply tdd to our development |
Show |
| To learn more about tdd and how to make the coding process more efficient |
Show |
| Recommended by management. I am interested in seeing how TDD can fit into what we do and how it makes developing and testing more efficient. |
Show |
| could be an interesting/useful development strategy. It will be interesting to see how it can be used in an audio DSP environment |
Show |
| If I ever write software again I'd like to use the TDD method as it would hopefully stop me laying in bed at 3am worrying about regressions or potential bugs. |
Show |
| Because it was suggested that I should |
Show |
| To further my knowledge and use it to improve our code base! I completely buy in to the methodology and the benefits it brings, but having never used it before it can sometimes be hard to see how to apply it in the best way to what we do. |
Show |
| To learn something. |
Show |
| I want to write better code, I want to code more and design robust solutions fairly quickly. |
Show |
| Booked on by manager as there is an attempt to introduce this into our company development workflow. |
Show |
| Because I didn't use TDD much, it's a good time to add it to my software development principles. This course will help to make TDD part of my daily work. |
Show |
| Because my boss let me have some training and I like using Unit tests. I know I could learn more about using unit tests properly to support legacy code. |
Show |
| To get better at testing |
Show |
| TDD is widespread through our department. To gain some hands-on experience of using this development methodology |
Show |
| I like software processes and am intrigued to see if TDD principles can be applied to everyday development without taking shortcuts. |
Show |
| To gain in depth understanding of the principles of TDD to be able to apply it with confidence. |
Show |
| To improve my programming skills and learn more about embedded development. |
Show |
| To be able to build better-quality software in relatively shorter time frames than I could today. |
Show |
| I heard a lot about TDD, and all opinions were positive. Also I don't have much experience in code testing (I'm not even familiar with terminology), so it will be great chance to start learning about tests as well |
Show |
| I have had a taste of TDD but I want to learn more, especially how it could be used with legacy code.
It is also being arranged for our whole group so I am attending as part of that. |
Show |
| It was arranged by management. |
Show |
| -Want to know more on TDD and to see how it could be implemented in our development process and reduces testing efforts. |
Show |
| To learn about TDD. I have not used TDD in any of my project so far. I have tested my software by writing some wrapper functions to test sanity, testing with PTS, running static tool analyser like lint for code analysis. But I have never used TDD. |
Show |
| In a system of multiple modules it is difficult to have full fledged test results of your module unless its in place with other modules (say DSP and application) there by testing is delayed. However with TDD we are hoping this gap can be reduced. |
Show |
| Everyone have to go. However I like opportunity to learn something new. |
Show |
| because Richard says we have to, due to attempting to change the way the group develops software |
Show |
| I would like to know the best strategy for writing tests so they do not restrict future development |
Show |
| To improve my software and coding skills |
Show |
| Want to improve my coding efficiency and first time correctness. Have fewer bugs. |
Show |
| Want to gain proficiency with C, as well as learn better testing practices. |
Show |
| I want to support more common understanding among the team on test-first principles and practices intersecting with refactoring to SOLID design in the real world |
Show |
| To write better software. If we don't improve as a team, our company will die or I will quit. I want to support my teammates. I have been asking for something like this for a while now and am very excited about it. So thanks in advance! |
Show |
| To evaluate the methods discussed and determine what can be improved in our existing system. |
Show |
|
Testing is hard and it's essential and I want it to be better, more reliable and more often performed. If it's also easier that'd be great. |
Show |
| Larger software team at Dynon is attending, and I am observing to determine if it is useful for the project that I manage which will have a growing software component in the future. |
Show |
| I've already completed one tdd course and am really interested in some SOLID coaching. |
Show |
| Improve code quality |
Show |
| I took it before but I was pretty knew to software at all. I'm curious to see what I'll come away with this time now that I've had more time to develop. |
Show |
| So that I can open my eyes to better and more efficient ways of developing software and keep up with Jones'. |
Show |
| To write code which can be automated for UT so that further enhancements are less boring/time consuming doing the same tests repeatedly. |
Show |
| to learn from the greats |
Show |
| enhance the knowledge in unit test using c |
Show |
| know tools to perform testing for code coverage |
Show |
| To learn some handy techniques to quicken programming cycle |
Show |
| wanted to learn about TDD |
Show |
| I would be hopelessly lost if TDD is widely used here. It does seem interesting if I can figure out how to do it without putting in a lot more effort than now. I expect it will discourage some of the complex things I do that usually create problems. |
Show |
| To learn how to write better (less buggy) code more quickly. |
Show |
| Undersand new ways to improve software quality |
Show |
| Interested in best way to pull TDD into legacy code. We have a lot of code already written (but still under dev.) that have no reliable way to test (aside from bench testing) Looking to establish an automated way to verify software during development |
Show |
| TDD is supposed to be good,want to be better at my job. To do things right and more reliable. If/when I leave company, who ever might replace me doesn't look at what I have done and say "<insert favorite colorful word here>"!
|
Show |
| TBD |
Show |
| Don't ask, don't tell. |
Show |
| Possibly teaching it in the future! |
Show |
| It could provide me more information that can help me become a better programmer/reviewer and/or software architect. I intend to use this as a tool to make things better. |
Show |
| improve quality of development |
Show |
| Learn how to test my software and system integration |
Show |
| Interested in learning more about TDD techniques |
Show |
| To open the aperture and explore updates to how we develop software. |
Show |
| Always interested in new ideas and processes |
Show |
| In order to increase my job efficiency |
Show |
| TDD sounds interesting but I want to know if it works on a real project and how much effort it is to put into practice, and the company is thinking of using it. |
Show |
| I like to know all development strategy. |
Show |
| To know more about TDD and find the best way/practices to use it in my daily |
Show |
| I want to know how to test a software state machine |
Show |
| Better UnitTest procedure in order to prevent and/or detect first a possible bug |
Show |
| I would like to increase the test strategy |
Show |
| Don't really know. Someone in Micron thinks it's a good idea. I would like us to use TDD so it's got go be a good thing. |
Show |
| Micron paid for the training and our whole software team will attend. |
Show |
| To learn about TDD, and how it could help our planning/estimating/development/verification methodologies. |
Show |
| Improve my development |
Show |
| was assigned to it |
Show |
| Company suggestion |
Show |
| To understand if TDD could be for me an every-day approch in my programming teqniques considering the fact that i develop firmware for real products... |
Show |
| acquiring much more practice
mocks
especially getting as many colleagues as possible involved in tdd |
Show |
| understand something more in TDD |
Show |
| I've experienced TDD a bit and it raised a lot the quality of my code. Now I face the issue of having a mess in the test code. And I'm not really testing everything.
So, I want to improve. |
Show |
| Get more insight on the TDD practice, and see if it can improve development |
Show |
| I hope to have new tool for test and debug |
Show |
| I really hope to make my code better |
Show |
| I triggered it together with Giancarlo: We have to understand and decide on our future practice |
Show |
| - Having the possibility to learn something about TDD.
- getting a more systematic / structurized approach in testing |
Show |
| I want to learn! |
Show |
| I'd like to understand if it can help me and my team to reduce the bug numbers before release |
Show |
| To know, how to do TDD in practice |
Show |
| to improve my sw |
Show |
| to get to know better to tdd. maybe to use it to shortenup test time in the end. to prevent |
Show |
| Wanted to get use to Test driven development. Wanted to create Bug free code. |
Show |
| I am a PO/SA. I have 16 yrs+ of Java/J2EE experience. I have not done coding in the past 2 1/2 years.
My manager would like me to sit in the training so I could bring new ides to the development team. |
Show |
| To understand test driven development thoroughly and implement it in Sprint development. |
Show |
| understand gaps and learn from an expert. |
Show |
| Management wants better, more reliable code from our large team. They are implementing more processes in hopes of improving code quality. |
Show |
| I believe it will provide me with expert knowledge to enhance our current development and debugging practice. |
Show |
| Required by job duty |
Show |
| TDD is a target for the company. |
Show |
| Make development process (and resulting product) more robust and faster. |
Show |
| I was told it would be interesting |
Show |
| Want to learn more and apply towards improving code quality. Want code to be as close to bug free as possible when delivered to the recipient (be it tester, QA group, customer, etc). |
Show |
| Want to see what unit testing is all about, even my boss talks about unit testing a lot, since I never did unit testing, i am really pumped up and very eager to learn how it is done. So please bear me if I ask any stupid question. |
Show |
| Interested to learn TDD |
Show |
| TO get more insight, get upto speed |
Show |
| To help me architect the system in a better way by looking at the code from testable angle |
Show |
| Because my group leader thinks it may help the team to increase the quality of our work. |
Show |
| I'm attending this course to change the paradigm of our development, because we first develop the code and then the test to check the code development correctness. Is obvious that the test can be developed first or at least simultaneously. |
Show |
| I like the TDD approach, I want it to be the "paradigm" of my team, because I am working in the setup of tools that wil support the TDD approach, but I need the team to get convinced of the TDD methodology |
Show |
| I'm really interested in learning how to improve my testing and the tools that I create to test my code. |
Show |
| My manager thinks it can help to improve our work, I want to understand and evaluate if it can. |
Show |
| Improve my programming skills |
Show |
| I want to become qualified to teach the class as a partner of Wingman. |
Show |
| Need to know embedded techniques, and legacy code |
Show |
| Technically it is required, but I would attend because we have a serious issue with introducing bugs, and our solution at this point has reduced productivity greatly, so I am hoping this will introduce a new solution. |
Show |
| I'm trying to implement TDD in our team.
I recommended your book as TDD resource long before this class.
|
Show |
| Our department is planning to adopt this as one way to address poor quality results. |
Show |
| I want to follow TDD methods in all my future development. |
Show |
| To improve embedded software knowledge. |
Show |
| to understand the tdd and implement . |
Show |
| I feel very rusty. Have not had any coaching in TDD for several years (and have only been able to practice it sporadically during those years) so I'm pretty sure I've lots of room for improvement! |
Show |
| To enable module testing |
Show |
| We have poor phase containment and I like the idea that unit-tests are written as part of the development process and maintained thereafter (and that is the real answer!) |
Show |
| to try to find out benefits of TDD in our current day to day work |
Show |
| Because my boss made me.. (And it might help with my modules) |
Show |
| Initially I wasn't attending, only here due to multiple dropouts. But I hope to learn techniques that can be used to drive cultural change in our organisation, which is desperately required to improve the quality of our product. |
Show |
| I was offered the course and it sounded like it might give me more of an impetus to write code which I can easily test and therefore implement better. |
Show |
| I've been asked to but also I think it could make our test coverage more efficient and ultimately improve code quality. |
Show |
| Just got the place to attend this as a last minute replacement. I feel that there should be some improvement in the way we test our code, so possibly TDD will give some insights to that. |
Show |
| I was enrolled by the company, but looking forward to the opportunity to improving my code writing skills! |
Show |
| To check whether this is going to speed up my development or help writing less buggy code. |
Show |
| . |
Show |
| C! |
Show |
| to learn more about doing systems level/embedded programming with good design and using testing/tdd in that domain. |
Show |
| I'm most interested in the word "embedded." I'm curious about software beyond web applications (the only context in which I've developed software). |
Show |
| I am really interested in learning about embedded systems. While it's very rewarding being in this journey on my own, I think I could advance quicker working with some of my coworkers under the guidance of an experienced person. |
Show |
| Haven't had to work in such a low-level language |
Show |
| We don't test enough at our company and we have a lot of legacy code. We hope to find a way to deal with how we can introduce tests to that legacy code and hopefully move to TDD in the future |
Show |
| Back in my regular C/C++ days I was pretty terrible at TDD. I'm looking to learn a bunch of the techniques in your book. |
Show |
| To seek for a better software development approach to improve our software quality and meet deadlines. |
Show |
| - get up to speed on current best practices
- recognize and unlearn thinking and bias, if need be |
Show |
| Unit test have have been useful for me in the past; unit testing is very often neglected because "there's no time." I want to learn better techniques for incorporating unit tests and developing the discipline to add them habitually. |
Show |
| I'm skeptical because I've seen too many of them come and go over my 30+ years of programming. I really want to see TDD in action to BEGIN the process of finding out if there is a "there, there." Or whether my skepticism is warranted. |
Show |
| I want to learn mainly how to test with so much legacy code around and exactly what behavior should I be testing of a class. Is it necessary to think of every single corner-case and write unit test for it? or only write them for the public interface. |
Show |
| Required by supervisor |
Show |
| Would like to get a feel for whether TDD is really worth the effort. |
Show |
| I honestly am interested in TDD. I would like to be able to intuitively say what should be tested and how. |
Show |
| my company give me the opportunity to attend. hoping to develop and improve my software skills. |
Show |
| To learn about TDD and how to put it to work with our current code base and lessen the time given to manual testing. |
Show |
| I'd like to better understand TDD and unit testing and to be able to speak about it with my coworkers from a common point. |
Show |
| I want to learn how to get faster feedback on my changes. |
Show |
| I want to learn how to use TDD well enough so that I can help get more people using it. Our testing practices are dated, and the only way to get up to date is to educate people on good testing practices. |
Show |
| I want to understand TDD for embedded systems well enough that I can train and convince other engineers on my team the value of developing this way. |
Show |
| Have more confidence in my code. |
Show |
| It seems like a good avenue to develop a hardened and sustainable coding style. It also seems to be the wave of the future. |
Show |
| To see if there are any concepts/techniques that can be applied to FPGA development. |
Show |
| I am curious how this could apply to the system I work on which is very messy and would take a very long time to refactor. I want to know what I can be doing now to help move the system in the right direction with tdd practices on new development. |
Show |
| I'm a bit of a one-man-show at my company and our customers are becoming increasingly interested in how we test our firmware. It would be helpful to have some sort of process to show them I adhere to. |
Show |
| This is part of an effort of introducing TDD in our work environment. I hope to learn new ideas and techniques that I can introduce easily to my team. |
Show |
| So that I can learn how to write unit-testable code and write unit tests. That is the real answer. It's not "because my boss said so". I was the one who originally contacted Wingman of my own volition. |
Show |
| I'm slightly biased against the philosophy of TDD. Not sure if my brain is capable of thinking in this manner and still writing decent code. Maybe you can change my mind. |
Show |
| Apply TDD to legacy and/or 3rd party code. |
Show |
| Enough other people weren't able to make it so I get to go. |
Show |
| I want to get better at TDD. |
Show |
| We have a fairly complex C++ component which has no unit or component tests. We'd like to add some. |
Show |
| hoping to be able to really start doing it!
but we will have to change a lot of mentalities first.
Hopefully some big fish will be there too, and that will make a difference :)
(you asked for the truth, didn't you?) |
Show |
| I'm interested in finding out what are the benefits of completely embracing the TDD philosophy. My company is also very keen on increasing development velocity so I'm interested to see how TDD affects this. |
Show |
| I want to be able to guide and support the developers that love TDD toward a consistent approach that we can then evangelise as a group to our peers. The culture at SPVSS is changing and we have a great opportunity to tap into that. |
Show |
| I'm interested in tdd and curious to know if it can really work in practice on big projects where source code is really huge and complicated |
Show |
| Would like to improve our test code harnesses, so that it doesn't take so long to update tests and write new ones. |
Show |
| I'd like to understand and know more about TDD. I am a bit skeptical about some TDD aspects, in particular writing the minimum code to make the test pass. |
Show |
| To see how TDD can be applied to existing code. |
Show |
| Because I was on the invite list |
Show |
| Company motivated, but I am too as well! |
Show |
| I have been invited |
Show |
| Company perceives a need to improve quality on the product I am currently working on so they are putting key people on this course. |
Show |
| Get better at writing bullet proof code that is demonstrably so. |
Show |
| I really want to check out if TDD can bring more efficiency and quality to my software development. |
Show |
| I was asked to attend |
Show |
| There is a quality improvement drive in our company and more focus on unit and component level testing therefore they are arranging for these training sessions. |
Show |
| To see whether Testing and debugging time can be reduced
and hence to make my life comfortable |
Show |
| I'd like to understand how I can apply TDD to my development process. I am particularly interested in the automated regression testing aspects. I'm also genuinely keen to learn new ways in which I can produce less buggy code from the outset. |
Show |
| Find out better approach to testing |
Show |
| Company is making us attend because quality has gone down and they realise the importance of continuous testing/integration. I don't mean to imply that I am forced quite the opposite I am delighted to have the opportunity. |
Show |
| to improve awareness and understanding, be part of team training and then applying it with the team on future developments. |
Show |
| Being told to |
Show |
| I was asked to. However, the reviews from others make me hope/wish that this will solve a lot of issues that we have. |
Show |
| Because I was told to :-) However, the company seems to have some enthusiasm for adopting the practice and I love how relaxed I am about modifying code that has comprehensive unit tests, so I want to take part. |
Show |
| Put forward as part of team. |
Show |
| Well, its company initiative so I have to be part of it. Also somewhere I want to see alternate way of attacking the problems. Our approach has become monotonous and no scope of fresh ideas. So anything new perspective is most welcome. |
Show |
| The company is universally asking engineers to - and I am quite pleased to engage intellectually with something fresh - and be paid while I am doing so. |
Show |
| Company organised course to see things differently, probably! |
Show |
| To learn about the TDD and start practicing it. |
Show |
| To get a better understanding and to work within the team under the same idea. |
Show |
| Learn a new approach to writing software and defect prevention. |
Show |
| I am a Duke contractor, who writes a lot of software for them. Their engineers are learning TDD, and they would like me to know it as well so I can continue to write software for them. |
Show |
| Taking advantage of excellent opportunity offered by my employer to advance my coding skills and knowledge. |
Show |
| I'd like to use TDD in my next job, and hopefully in this one too. |
Show |
| To ensure my team is engaged. To be actively present with respect to my teams development goals. |
Show |
| To learn a hopefully valuable skill I can start using immediately for better quality code/systems and to share with clients. |
Show |
| I want to use TDD to create better software, faster. I intend on taking what I learn here and making it mandatory for our upcoming projects. |
Show |
| More efficient, not wasting energy on bugs. |
Show |
| update my understanding of embedded software development with agile techniques. I have an emerging interest in the IoT world. |
Show |
| Are writing unit-test-code but have not so much education. |
Show |
| It was my bosses wish, I wanted to go an embedded linux training. But I get to do both...so a win win. |
Show |
| I've never learned much C because I've never gotten to do anything interesting with it. If I knew how to test-drive C, I'm sure I could find interesting things to try. |
Show |
| Always interesting to improve myself. Do for the first time in a long time have room for raise my eyes and focus on something new. Maybe get some argument for improvements for the whole department. |
Show |
| They asked me at Trimble to join this course. We are setting up at test platform (using TeamCity) for an old product.
Personally i want to learn more about TDD as well. It improves product (and code) quality. |
Show |
| We need reduce the amount of bugs and improve code quality. Teams feelings on TDD range from enthusiastic to sceptical. I'm hoping course will help.
|
Show |
| Good use of company training budget and a nice break from the current legacy code rescue mission. |
Show |
| I have read quite a lot about TDD. But I want to get more hands on exercise doing it. Writing tests, writing code. |
Show |
| I know our code has bugs, I'm tired of firefighting when the bugs affect the production line or similar. I want to be able to change the code without fearing that it will break somewhere.
|
Show |
| When I program a relatively inconsequential program at the day job, I use TDD. When I program an Arduino, MSP430 or something at home for fun, I don't because I just don't quite know how. Time to fix this. |
Show |
| I hope to bring more embedded work into our company. |
Show |
| To improve TDD knowledge and improve test design. |
Show |
| To convert me to TDD |
Show |
| Within the team I haven't used it, another struggled using it with a large chunk of existing code that was been changed and the remaining 2 I believe are hoping to learn something to make it easier for them. |
Show |
| To become a better programmer |
Show |
| Interest in software quality. |
Show |
| Invited by a peer and team leader. I've ALWAYS been an education/training advocate. |
Show |
| Because I want to see how we can work together to integrate the ideas into cleancoders videos. |
Show |
| As a refresher and two be with two colleagues who I presented this to last year who did not get a chance to really embrace it. |
Show |
| TDD and unit test applied to embedded systems -- especially mocking and faking. I need more ammunition to convince the organization that 'if we did things a little differently, we could have much better software for not much additional cost.' |
Show |
| it was suggested by my boss' boss. am definitely interested to see if we can figure out a good way to better TDD (and unit tests in general) for our complex SDK |
Show |
| My boss suggested that I take it. I don't believe it's because he thinks I need it, but so we might get some evangelists who can champion the benefits and practice of TDD. |
Show |
| I want to learn how to better use TDD in my everyday work to save me time and effort. |
Show |
| I really want to learn TDD so that I can become a better developer.
I am specifically interested in how TDD can be effectively applied to a large preexisting code base with few unit tests. |
Show |
| I want to learn! |
Show |
| Our department would like to do more towards improving software quality and reliability. |
Show |
| Clean code and legacy code refactoring mostly deals with OOP. How to make proper test harnesses in C, mocking HW and external dependencies in C. How HW deals with agile as HW ties to production lines(a slot time) => waterfall model => FW devs. |
Show |
| 1) I love learning from experts. I know that my TDD skills can use some improvement. 2) This is an opportunity to work side-by-side with Hunter's firmware engineers. They will know the embedded C stuff, I'm more familiar with the TDD side of things. |
Show |
| I think this course is mandatory for firmware engineer. |
Show |
| TDD practices for embedded |
Show |
| Cause I was told to go. |
Show |
| I want to get a good feel for working with the embedded programming tools. I'd like to be more comfortable building and running things on something that isn't on the web or Windows. |
Show |
| To re-learn and learn how to apply what I know in embedded. To learn how I can better support the embedded engineers of my company. To learn from you. |
Show |
| To develop good working code that is easy to test. |
Show |
| I want to share my love of tdd and agile practices, I also want to stretch my comfort zone. |
Show |
| Someone said I had to. |
Show |
| I think there is a lot of value here |
Show |
| Want to develop quality and bug-free software in same given time frame. |
Show |
| We tend to test after the fact (unit / functional tests) and have been encouraged to start with the tests and work forward. Given the nature of our problems this doesn't always work out, but we're trying... |
Show |
| I'm trying to develop some good habits/skills(with manager's encouragement). |
Show |
| I am attending this class because I want to understand TDD and decide for myself whether or not it makes sense for projects I am on to pursue using it. |
Show |
| to learn about TDD and hopefully apply it to my development activities. |
Show |
| It is on my performance review for my goals this year. Also I am very interested in being formerly trained in this methodology even though I have been practicing it for 20 years. I think I will learn new things. |
Show |
| To expand my Agile/TDD knowledge. |
Show |
| I want to be able to develop better quality software faster and with less frustrations. |
Show |
| Tried to start TDD at the office a few times during the last few years with no serious rear cover. I kept trying... Now we can attend your course ;-)
|
Show |
| My senior manager (Andrew MacKenzie) suggested it. I am open minded about the idea of this new regime and what I have read in the first few chapters of your book has encouraged me that it could be beneficial for the embedded work we do. |
Show |
| 1) I want to be in a position to deliver TDD training
2) I want to get better (always room to improve) |
Show |
| My manager suggested it. I agree it's a good idea. |
Show |
| I would like to understand TDD and agile methodologies in depth, which would help us to evaluate and use these methodologies for future work/projects |
Show |
| To see how the Agile process can be applied to embedded SW development. |
Show |
| our validation cycles are too long. We validate code as much time as we develop it |
Show |
| Training always useful.
Feel the need to do something about the embedded software development process here. |
Show |
| required |
Show |
| training required :) |
Show |
| assigned task |
Show |
| To learn learn the development / test eng interactions in terms of TDD and agile training |
Show |
| My boss told me to |
Show |
| stuff |
Show |
| Process improvement in the company |
Show |
| part of my goals for this year, but also because i want to learn better testing |
Show |
| To learn and improve development techniques |
Show |
| I dont know much about testing code at all - this is my personal motivation.
It is also a part of my job progression path. Although it was preferred I chose some other internal training, I decided to push for this one. |
Show |
| A colleague told me about it and i was interested to learn about it. I want to check if it is realistic to use it in our daily business. |
Show |
| I'm not working with the embedded firmware on a daily base but I think it is important that we have a common base to be able to work together. I like the concept of TDD, the times I tried it it works very well and I would like to do it more often. |
Show |
| Possibility of teaching this class to others on behalf of you. |
Show |
| Understanding or deep into TDD |
Show |
| I've been tasked with coming up with common training (rules playbook, and unit tests project structure for entire SW Engineering Department. |
Show |
| I hope to learn something new that I can use in my day-to-day work |
Show |
| I really want to learn good ways of doing real TDD on embedded devices, a area I have little experience in. |
Show |
| We are increasing the usage of automatic tests. I don't want to be left behind :-). |
Show |
| I am a curious person :-) |
Show |
| I think TDD is a good concept but haven't used it a lot in practice as an embedded developer. So I'm hoping to learn some good ways to make it work in an embedded environment. |
Show |
| I have recently become a project manager and I want to know what the developers learn on this course in order to facilitate the use of TDD practices in our projects. |
Show |
| I want to development faster and better code without error. |
Show |
| to under how tdd will help create a better software. |
Show |
| To find the sweet spot between TDD and unit testing. |
Show |
| Support my organization in achieving success in using TDD and unit testing.
Gain knowledge/insight to continue in-house training and consultation to enable organization on TDD and unit testing. |
Show |
| recent change of focus from mgmt. team to focus more on testing. |
Show |
| Panasonic development standard. |
Show |
| I'm asking the people who work under me to practice TDD to support a department initiative to write better code. I want to understand what I'm asking my team to do. |
Show |
| Want to learn about TDD and know how effectively can be used in our development. |
Show |
| - Need to improve the way present day software design is done.
- Have some question, and looking for the answer from the experts. |
Show |
| would like to implement the same for C code |
Show |
| -- |
Show |
| 1. To better understand TDD. It is not clear how TDD flow would ensure the customer requirements are met.
2. Best practices to make TDD successful
3. The challenges faced & addressed due to the churn due to refactoring |
Show |
| With bigger teams, we don't get to spend time programming. Lot of time is spent in coordinating. A good testing strategy may be helpful to reduce the coordination time. |
Show |
| - Improve Quality of the software Me and my team develop.
- Bring More confidence on software deliveries |
Show |
| Because It may be useful and new learning practice that may improve the quality of SW |
Show |
| My manager nominated me. Hoping this would encourage me motivate my team to to use TDD. |
Show |
| to know more about TDD |
Show |
| I want to adapt some sort of software testing in our group, and I want to get better at specifying the software I am writing before just going to work on it. |
Show |
| To learn if this is a technique we could use where I work. |
Show |
| I'm the only embedded programmer at my division. Our code is becoming more complex and I need a way to ensure our devices are absolutely reliable without having access to peer code review. |
Show |
| My company has always had trouble building a good QA process for our embedded products as we've grown. We need to learn what others in the industry are doing and see if we can apply that to my company. |
Show |
| My Manager |
Show |
| Interested in TDD in embedded system. |
Show |
| My Boss (Jason Smith, also attending) has hopes and dreams of turning me into an Embedded developer so that he can just hire a new C# developer instead of trying to find a good Embedded developer. |
Show |
| I heard TDD, but know very little about it. I'd like to know more about it to improve software development quality. |
Show |
| The option was made available to me via my company! |
Show |
| I'm the new guy in my team, and I want to prove myself as invaluable team-member. The team uses TDD through CppUTest, and I want to be able to understand it at their level. |
Show |
| I'd like a more formal training on the TDD process - I've loosely implemented it in the past, but found myself dropping it as time passed. |
Show |
| I would like to try to do more TDD and the opportunity was offered. |
Show |
| I actually want to learn what this is about. But not sure if I have the bandwidth to implement these practices. |
Show |
| The firmware architect was unable to make the conference. The goal is that by sending myself and another team member (our C# developer), we can derive 80%+ of the value of just him going; we will see. |
Show |
| To improve the quality of my code and to learn to develop software from a different perspective. Co-workers have taken this course and have good things to say. |
Show |
| Would like to gain more insight into how to TDD more effectively, understand the concepts better AND would love to see how TDD fits into the bigger picture, e.g. what tools and how TDD fits into integration and system-level testing. |
Show |
| I can impart this concept to my team |
Show |
| I'm working on the unit test and would like to improve |
Show |
| Recommendation from management. |
Show |
| Company Initiative.
It may be a cleaner way to develop.
More "agile" if you will. |
Show |
| Since I am in the PM, I want to understand how this will help my developers to develop code that is much easier to maintain and create something that is consistent always. Also increase the Productivity/avoid rework. |
Show |
| I would like to learn how to create automated test cases which test code that is newly written. I would like to understand an adopt a Dynamic Test tool for this purpose. |
Show |
| To improve the quality of testing. |
Show |
| Better productivity from the team |
Show |
| I got invitation for this training and I am curious to understand if it can solve our problem of developing in large teams. |
Show |
| to understand how to reduce bugs |
Show |
| assigned by my boss |
Show |
| To reduce the SW development efforts |
Show |
| To understand what TDD is all aabout and what is the value added by TDD to the product, my skill set and to my company. |
Show |
| Want to get some deeper knowledge and learn how to use it in my existing code. |
Show |
| I want to use TDD |
Show |
| Company decision. |
Show |
| We're trying to embrace TDD in our development flow. |
Show |
| Because our company uses TDD. |
Show |
| adopting best practices |
Show |
| Want to learn the techniques so I can make my coding more efficient and reliable. For real!!! |
Show |
| I hope it will be useful |
Show |
| because tdd sound usefull |
Show |
| It sounds like a good approach.
My manager has been keen to get me on this for some time now.
|
Show |
| I want to improve efficiency in my software development. |
Show |
| In our project, the benefits of unit testing is being seen over the existing component test frameworks.
While I have been using CppUTest recently, I have learnt it on the job without formal guidance or introduction. |
Show |
| I want to refresh skills |
Show |
| I want to improve the skill set of everyone in firmware and software development. My TDD skill set is outdated. I need to know what you teach and how so I can assist with the post-class learning. |
Show |
| My boss signed me up for it! :-) And, truthfully, I'm interested in learning it. |
Show |
| To learn about TDD as all of programming is new to me |
Show |
| Technical management feels like this will help us (engineers) produce better perceived value to the customer through more reliable software/firmware. I agree with this. |
Show |
| I'd really like to learn TDD well enough to keep the practice going. However, I also want to be able to help classmates so everyone keeps using it as a useful tool. |
Show |
| Because it was recommended (required?) by the company management. |
Show |
| management plan for our group |
Show |
| Assigned by manager |
Show |
| to learn a better way to write and test code - really I am excited to learn. Never had an official class on programming so I am really a hack |
Show |
| I'm genuinely interested in tdd and what can be gleaned from it to add to my own MO. |
Show |
| Honestly, I don't think TDD is a good idea. I am attending only on the off chance that I might be misjudging it. Also, with the company pushing TDD, I am obligated to at least understand the particulars enough to be able guide my team in using it. |
Show |
| I want to learn how to use it in my project to see if it could save my time. |
Show |
| really want to learn something about TDD |
Show |
| it sounds fun to me, why not? |
Show |
| I would like to understand how to mock asynchronous events from lower layers and application layers to simulate different timing conditions observed in the field testing. |
Show |
| To learn practical TDD especially done in USA. |
Show |
| to improve the code quality , spent time efficiently , and found more defects in early stages. |
Show |
| My manager made me aware of it and offered the training to me |
Show |
| How can we enhance test capability of software and find issues at early stage. |
Show |
| I want to learn new ideas to improve my skillset and contribute in a better way. |
Show |
| To understand if tdd is actually helpful in development.
|
Show |
| I am coming with open mind and wants to understand usefulness of this training. |
Show |
| looking for design solution to make use TDD in easy ways with my existing design |
Show |
| Because I want to learn to have a more structured and result-driven workflow when programming |
Show |
| My background is 16 years at Microsoft, using agile approaches. I switched to embedded 3 years back and found an industry 20 years behind. Keen to seem TDD paired with embedded. |
Show |
| I've only been introduced to TDD in the past year and it seems like the correct way that all code should be written but I find it difficult to stick with the mindset as it takes a while to see the benefits. |
Show |
| To develop new skills, develop software faster and safer. Produce better software which is maintainable and scale-able. |
Show |
| I was booked onto it |
Show |
| We are hiring more engineers soon and I want to have the entire team doing TDD. I want to become an expert embedded firmware engineer also. I believe TDD will be a critical part of this. I want our company to succeed. |
Show |
| I am genuinely interested in learning TDD. So many electrical (not firmware) engineers blow of TDD as a bloated requirement. However, I believe there must be value, or else embedded people would not be interested. |
Show |
| I'm looking to see if more formal techniques like TDD or Agile can be applied to our small group (research-oriented, mostly one-off prototypes). I want to improve my own skill sets and hopefully improve productivity. |
Show |
| I need less bugs in my code. It's hurting our business and our customers. |
Show |
| Less debugging, more code confidence |
Show |
| To gain a deeper understanding of TDD. |
Show |
| Want to learn more about TDD and apply it to my work.
|
Show |
| Director of R&D thinks it is a good idea |
Show |
| To better our software quality |
Show |
| I would like to bring some helpful techniques back to the office. |
Show |
| I'm just curious. |
Show |
| Evaluate to see if others should take it. Possibly learn new testing patterns.u |
Show |
| One i was volunteered but i would like to get better and TDD so that i can bring these skills to my team. |
Show |
| A lot of colleagues have attended previous TDD courses and recommended doing it, especially since it was you holding the course.
I would also like to get a bigger motivation for writing the tests before the implementation. |
Show |
| I heard a lot about TDD and would like to find out if this is something I can use to become a more efficient and structured developer. How can I actually write unit tests before doing the coding? |
Show |
| I find it hard to actually implement Tdd in practice for embedded systems. Do you test static (private) functions, and if so how?), how do you test a hal? How do you test code in irqs? How do you test code that relies on hw timing? |
Show |
| I want to learn the rules/theory/background of TDD properly.
|
Show |
| I write and maintain embedded C tests (to test the HW).
I think TDD ideas could be applied to our tests.
I think our test framework (lib functions, test framework, and possibly tests) could be more robust using TDD |
Show |
| Formal training, new input, hope to get ideas about specific problems, more social than reading your book, see where we stand compared to state of the art tdd for embedded |
Show |
| To learn TD. |
Show |
| Got an opportunity to learn about TDD. We do not use it completely yet (because we are an hardware company first with simplish software), but we slowly are moving into that direction |
Show |
| To learn something new which might help us accelerate with module design. |
Show |
| My boss sent me. They are interested to see, if this is useful for our team. |
Show |
| I am paranoid about my code. |
Show |
| To be able to create some rules on coding in our team. |
Show |
| I would like to write code that works and stays working with short validation iterations. |
Show |
| I would like to find a way to always use TDD also for video processing applications. |
Show |
| I am currently not really doing tdd. I add tests to cover my code, but often after the code has been developed. |
Show |
| To improve, my tests tend to grow too large and I jump ahead and implement too much too early (partially bad at procrastinating) |
Show |
| To better understand the usage and possibilities of some test frameworks. Possibly parts the frameworks could be re-implemented for our development environment. |
Show |
| To convince myself to actually apply it and to learn ways of using it with plain C code. |
Show |
| To learn more about TDD and how it can help improve software quality, especially to find out if it's better than writing tests after the "real" code. |
Show |
| My manager approached me and asked if I would be interested in attending. I agreed because I want to improve my skills and knowledge |
Show |
| I want to get better at designing software. Currently stuff often falls apart as soon as more rigorous tests are used. Would be nice to get some tools to streamline my development process. |
Show |
| I do not have experience with actually proper testing with embedded.
|
Show |
| As I am advocating TDD in my current project (and my previous project), I would like to experience it myself, so I know what I am talking about. |
Show |
| Need help/inspiration implementing TDD in current environment/organization |
Show |
| As tester I can’t do pure TDD (test the test discussion). I do try to work with devs as early as possible, reviewing unit tests. I want to feel TDD, to be able to better work with devs. This will also be a refresher for me on C/C++ (going back to it) |
Show |
| I want to make more use of TDD in the embedded software environment. In the embedded world this is more difficult than within the application software. |
Show |
| I'm always looking for ways to improve my skills. I read the course outline and I was interested. Also the trainer seems to be an experienced guy, so I think I can learn from him. Furthermore I hope I can apply the things I learn in my daily work. |
Show |
| Learn TDD, get the company to pay for my PE continuing Ed hours. I think the company needs it. I do have the VP of engineering agreeing that it is valuable. Getting the company to implement it is not so simple. |

| Learn TDD, get the company to pay for my PE continuing Ed hours. I think the company needs it. I do have the VP of engineering agreeing that it is valuable. Getting the company to implement it is not so simple. |
Show |
| If not now, when? Especially when I can't seem to get the tools installed
It will add my skill set when I start managing my next team as well as my consultancy. |
Show |
| Basic introduction was years ago, and have not used it much since then. Trying to find out how it can be used for our current legacy project where no automatic tests exist |
Show |
| I like writing code and take a weird pride in writing the best possible and most efficient code. I also hate debugging. I feel being able to write unit tests will help me with these things. |
Show |
| TDD is something new for me. |
Show |
| Just for knowledge. |
Show |
| I would like my team to adopt TDD for our embedded software development. I proposed this training because I believe it will be an effective way to learn good habits and improve my understanding. |
Show |
| Actually I was set up for another seminar (best practices for designing safety systems) that got cancelled so I was offered this one, which I also thing it is applicable to me. |
Show |
| I've read the books. Don't know how else to get started. Signing up for this course was faster than finding a relevant job (particularly in the embedded space). |
Show |
| my manager asked to represent my team to understand how helpful this course is for our team. we have been doing some C development recently. we think this class would be helpful for our development, hence attending this class. |
Show |
| Understand the tdd, and gtest, mock |
Show |
| To learn new techniques/skills for testing my code in C/C++ |
Show |
| To get my hands dirty with a test harness and learn more about how to find the seams! |
Show |
| Want to use TDD to accelerate our embedded C firmware development by automating some tests. Want to develop confidence in newly written code more quicly. |
Show |
| Fill in any gaps that I don't understand, try and evangelicalize it to the rest of my company. Look good on resume. |
Show |
| Couldn't figure out how to use Unity/CMock/Ceedling with the build environment created by Yocto. Hoping you can shed some light on it. It would be great if we could also figure out how to integrate TDD tests into our Jenkins build system. |
Show |
| To get an understanding of ways to apply TDD in practice at my organization. Also, to understand the effective ways to spread the practice across the team. |
Show |
| to get started with tdd, improve SW quality with tdd approach |
Show |
| Required |
Show |
| I have never written sw tests and never used tdd. Want to gain more experience as well. |
Show |
| tdd sounds good, but my experience is when a change to the existing code base is done then you get bogged down maintaining tests instead of developing the next feature. Want to know how tdd is really supposed to be implemented? |
Show |
| We decided in our team that we would like to move towards test driven development. We want to do it correctly. |
Show |
| Courses are fun, and I'm hoping to learn something useful |
Show |
| Too learn more about TDD and to get hands-on experience. |
Show |
| I want to learn some more about TDD |
Show |
| I tried to learn on my own but did not know how to start. Good to set aside some dedicated time for it. |
Show |
| I want to understand how we can apply TDD in our organization. We need it to increase quality of our products. |
Show |
| I want to learn test-driven embedded development. |
Show |
| Learn best practices, got a feeling I'm doing things wrong. |
Show |
| Interested in learning how TDD can be used in a non object-oriented, embedded context. |
Show |
| I work as an architect for a code base that has evolved since the 80s. I know the pain of lack of automated tests and the difficulty of introduced them later. |
Show |
| Need to setup my team's new test automation framework |
Show |
| Because I was told to! =) But honestly I am interested. I am driving an effort to share code across platform and/or products. My plan is to have shared code in one repo, and not forked into different projects. (We have a lot of forking now.) |
Show |
| My manager made me |
Show |
| Told to. |
Show |
| my management scheduled it for my team; however, I think it could be a valuable learning and level-setting activity |
Show |
| My boss set it up |
Show |
| I was signed up for it as a member of the new team, and think TDD is an excellent practice that should be more widely adopted w/in our organization. |
Show |
| to bond with my team and learn something
|
Show |
| I'm primarily an RF engineer, but I am interested in moving into software. |
Show |
| It was assigned for our department. |
Show |
| It is planned by the department but I like to learn and practice. |
Show |
| I want to evaluate my skills in the field and expand them. |
Show |
| I have two major questions that I would like practical answers to: 1. In the embedded world what are good approaches to mocking out hardware.
2. How do you minimize the impact of changing requirements while using TDD. |
Show |
| Would love to make a change, connect the device to a test system that would validate that I didn't inadvertently break existing functions. |
Show |
| To learn more about the software development process. |
Show |
| 1. There is a free lunch (;. 2. I am interested in becoming a better coder and making this a larger part of what I get to do at work. Honestly, it seems like a very logical and easily implemented method to code more effectively. |
Show |
| I was asked to attend because of my previous experience with Agile software development |
Show |
| I have bit experience in C, and C++. Additionally, i have taken Embedded Interfacing course at University of Akron, which i enjoyed it. |
Show |
| I'm one of the few engineers in the lab that likes writing tests. |
Show |
| My manager is a big proponent of unit testing and TDD. He wanted us to all read the book on TDD. The more I read, the more I liked it. Only a few of us from each team can attend and I want to be one of those. |
Show |
| We've been asked to learn about TDD. |
Show |
| Interest in TDD and automated Unit Testing. |
Show |
| New company initiative. |
Show |
| I love to learn something new every day. |
Show |
| Organization has decided to increase TDD usage, and want to be effective in that world. |
Show |
| 1. Management sent me
2. I actually want to know how to make this work with code that's very dependent on specialized hardware |
Show |
| I would like a formal course in tdd, rather than the informal learn-as-you-go approach my team took over the past year. |
Show |
| Move by our organization to go more towards test driven development |
Show |
| to learn if there is a better way than the current methodology. |
Show |
| We're moving to Agile development |
Show |
| I would like to find out how to create automated tests for the parts of our firmware that involve heavy hardware interaction. |
Show |
| I hope to find some useful tools and methodologies for better test automation. |
Show |
| Backfill the person on my team that can't attend. |
Show |
| I am personally big on unit testing, but I've never done "pure" TDD and would like to learn more. |
Show |
| Our scrum master signed our team up. |
Show |
| I am not very comfortable in C++, so I hope this class will give me a bit more experience, and because I want to use TDD in C++ but currently don't know how. |
Show |
| To learn about the tools and workflow behind tdd. |
Show |
| learn more about testing on the embedded level |
Show |
| Requirement from management |
Show |
| My manager is making me (just kidding (; )
I haven't been using C/C++ for a while and it will be a good refresher for me, while at the same time I will be introduced to a completely new programming method! |
Show |
| To learn what the dev team is working on and how I might benefit. |
Show |
| Do good job. |
Show |
| I am interested in continuing our team's growth in unit testing. |
Show |
| Want to learn TDD and Unit Test for C code, especially embedded. Most TDD assumes OOP. |
Show |
| My manager signed me up for it. |
Show |
| For more confidence in code quality |
Show |
| Improve development skills |
Show |
| I'm legitimately looking forward to learning something new that I'm already familiar enough to sort of "believe in" and apply it to my own work to make me a better programmer and share what I learn with my team. |
Show |
| I'm new to software development and would like to improve. |
Show |
| to improve my standard of coding using TDD, & better my ability to be able to write unit tests for any scenario. |
Show |
| to learn/improve |
Show |
| Got signed up for this by management |
Show |
| My manager believe it will help me better contribute to our team and better understand the workings of the software development at Zebra. |
Show |
| Sounds interesting, I don't have any reason to say to it. |
Show |
| It wasn't my choice but would want it if asked. |
Show |
| Attending this for work. I have heard that this technique is important, and would like to learn to code with TDD methods. |
Show |
| It was offered to my team and I do not have any formal TDD training. My team uses TDD and I want a better understanding. (It was not mandated that we attend.) |
Show |
| The company wants me to take the class. |
Show |
| Required training but am interested to see what I'll learn |
Show |
| N/A |
Show |
| To help my team gain a deeper understanding about the benefits of test driven development and develop skills that make it easier to test their code. |
Show |
| Someone trust descried it as "very good". |
Show |
| To gain more knowledge on how the TDD process can be more effective and apply it to current project |
Show |
| I have been assigned by my company to take this course. |
Show |
| To see what parts are applicable to what I do. |
Show |
| Because it's available to me. I hear it's a really good class. I'm excited to take it. |
Show |
| to make my job easier |
Show |
| To learn about TDD and hopefully become a better developer. |
Show |
| Because my manager told me to |
Show |
| We literally have received next to 0 training. As a group we had taken TDD training about 4 years ago, it was in JAVA which I do not know, and in addition we do not program in JAVA for this job. |
Show |
| Mainly a refresher. I took the class years ago when you came to Zebra in the past. |
Show |
| Offered a chance to attend. |
Show |
| To pick up debug skills |
Show |
| to learn |
Show |
| Because I want to learn how to test while developing in a more systematic way. Also because other collegues found the ideas/methods in the course very useful. |
Show |
| I'm looking to make this a standard practice within the firmware group: would like to make it standard with-in all software but don't have control of that domain. |
Show |
| I'd like some inspiration as how to improve my coding and see a few tools that would allow it. Also getting some variation to my workday as I've been doing non coding stuff for a while. |
Show |
| I was told by a Co-Worker that I'm taking this. |
Show |
| "If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of Giants".
I have learned much in the past from reading code of really skilled programmers. And I always strive to improve my own code. |
Show |
| Want to try a different approach on testing. Also the others from my company recommended it. |
Show |
| Increase productivity and quality in new projects and also a wish from managers. |
Show |
| Our SW and FW team is building up, so we are getting trained on best practices and forming our coding standards and best practices. |
Show |
| Because TDD is very interesting to me and I would like to improve my behaviors to be able to be more efficient at coding solutions to complicated problems |
Show |
| I was told to. |
Show |
| Trying to better my self.
You are the expert, make it worth my time :-) |
Show |
| Learn more effective ways to develop and test code. |
Show |
| Due to company training |
Show |
| The team is not writing good unit tests. Some don't know how. Many of them do know, in theory, what to do but they don't practice it. More rigor would make us more efficient. |
Show |
| because I have to and because I might learn something to help my employer succeed with their product development |
Show |
| Because I want to absorb all of the information I possibly can while I'm here. |
Show |
| want learn something from others |
Show |
| manditory |
Show |
| Management signed me up. |
Show |
| assigned |
Show |
| free lunch and learn more about TDD. |
Show |
| I was required to be here. But I'm also interested in the topic, so it's not like I wouldn't have been here anyway. |
Show |
| to learn more about TDD |
Show |
| Told to attend. |
Show |
| I want to understand more about tdd |
Show |
| I have to |
Show |
| It's an opportunity to learn about testing. |
Show |
| This is a required training course. Also, it would be good to learn more about testing. |
Show |
| learn unit testing |
Show |
| Needed a break from company politics. New manager used TDD in previous employment and wants to see it happen here. I agreed with him after a 2 yr FW dev cycle that nearly burned me out. I see a lot of potential for improvement. |
Show |
| One of the things I am struggling with TDD is at what level within the hardware drivers should unit testing stop and just be stubbed for other tests to work. |
Show |
| To make connections with other embedded developers and get more exposure to the use of agile methods in the embedded realm. |
Show |
| Want to develop software faster and higher quality. Be able to explain to management why we need TDD and teach co-workers about TDD. |
Show |
| I am convinced that TDD is the way to go. My new boss, Vanessa (attending the class with me) seems dedicated to the cause. I think I just need a jump start in how to practically implement TDD and how to setup the tools for our environment(s). |
Show |
| I have wanted to introduce unit and automated tests for our firmware projects for years. My organization is getting behind the need for unit level tests to supplement the system level testing we already do. |
Show |
| I am always interested to learn new or different ways of development. And the company is covering the expense. win-win. |
Show |
| learn the new development life cycle methodologies, new tools, learn something new, Bring myself from Yourdon to Agile world |
Show |
| Because I want to hone my programming skill that can further enhance my career as a new software developer. |
Show |
| Want to see how AGILE can be applied specifically to embedded software, where a dedicated hardware is usually required for testing. Wants to add AGILE and TDD to our software process. |
Show |
| I need some concrete examples seeing and feeling TDD work. I need to be able to articulate agile for embedded to my team. |
Show |
| As a manager who uses Waterfall, I want to understand if Agile will help me with embedded systems development |
Show |
| As a manager, I want to seem like I know what I am talking about for a change! ;) |
Show |
| I'd like to understand if it makes sense to make real TDD for not only lesson examples but if it is really feasible to make it for any SW.
I'd like to know best practices in TDD and to get answers to already prepared questions. |
Show |
| To complete my current experience with TDD which I learned on the "Heap" within my precedent teams. |
Show |
| Learn the "good" practices in TDD
Learn what is important and what is less in TDD.
What we should focus on when we are doing tdd |
Show |
| We are currently using starting with tdd, therfore all our team is following this training to know a bit more about tdd. |
Show |
| to clarify how to integrate it to our development
how to use TDD for our coding style of C |
Show |
| I want to experience TDD (writing test first) to see the impact it has on the design. I want to see if we can make mocking easier. I'm curious about the answers to the questions we've had while trying to add unit tests to our code. |
Show |
| Improvement of internal development flow to use TDD on new code blocks. |
Show |
| I would like to know the best practice of applying TDD in our company projects. |
Show |
| To discover new and efficient ways to improve code quality. |
Show |
| Convince me:
1) We will improve our productivity with TDD.
2) TDD is better as DDD (Design Driven Developpement) |
Show |
| By the fact that I already wrote Unit tests, using Ceedling. I want to known, if what I've done was correct. I also want to know more about TDD. In particular, I want to know how many tests, that we have to do, depending on the code's complexity. |
Show |
| Much practice without political discussions. |
Show |
| I would like to encourage more diligent developer testing at my company and feel I can support that by being part of this training. |
Show |
| Because I want to learn along with the team. |
Show |
| I'm attending the class because I want to understand exactly what TDD has to offer and how to effectively implement TDD and unit testing within a department so we can trial it on an upcoming project to gauge its effectiveness. |
Show |
| It's required. |
Show |
| Learn new tool for designing, implement and updating UT protocols in different UT tool than VectorCast (as directed by management). |
Show |
| To hopefully become an in-house advocate for TDD in our group. |
Show |
| --- |
Show |
| Believe it or not, I'm really hoping that we can shift to a paradigm where all developers must unit test (and maintain those tests) their code. Right now, our unit tests mostly verify that the system runs as implemented. |
Show |
| Job loss |
Show |
| I'm technically being required to go, but I am really excited about the topic, and look forward to learning and applying new ideas to my development skill set.
If it was optional, I would still be attending. |
Show |
| I am attending this class because I am interested in learning more about test driven development. I hope I can apply this to my work. |
Show |
| To learn about Todd... TDD? |
Show |
| Joined Neptune and they had this already scheduled and I'm open to learning new things. |
Show |
| As I am new to the concept of (proper) programming, I don't know anything about Test Driven Development. I am here to learn and then apply it to my projects. |
Show |
| I'm always looking for ways to write better, more reliable code. I hope to learn some new skills, learn about useful tools, and write better code on my next project. |
Show |
| To become better at my profession |
Show |
| We are evaluating different unit test frameworks. Cpputest is one of our candidates to explore using as a standard framework. I want to use it again since I haven't touched it since the last time I took your class. |
Show |
| My team believes it would be a valuable learning experience for me. I'm eager to learn and hope to gain a lot from this training. |
Show |
| I want to be doing TDD, but I don't feel like I have the time to learn outside of dedicated training time. |
Show |
| I would like to try this for myself, really. |
Show |
| share a common understanding with peers on development methodologies and best practices |
Show |
| I'm hopeful that it will reduce the time spent setting up and maintaining tests as well as allow for more thorough testing. |
Show |
| I like TDD, I want to do more TDD regularly, I want to learn more about TDD and the best ways I can do it. I want my workplace to be doing TDD. |
Show |
| I have seen other teams get good value out of automated test suites. I want to start using automated testing in my project. |
Show |
| I want to learn more about this approach to testing and get some more practice testing code. I tend to be a hands-on learner, so I think this course might help. I hope to be able to keep up with the class!
|
Show |
| I'm curious about using it in "all circumstances" and I want to improve our controller testing (and write actual controller code, which hasn't really happened yet).
|
Show |
| - |
Show |
| I already practice TDD for all my new code and as much as I can on new code I write in systems that I do not have design authority to fundamentally change. I am hoping to learn new TDD techniques and hone the ones I have. |
Show |
| looking forward to learning a new technique that I've dabbled slightly in in the past, but which has proven beneficial |
Show |
| I've never used TDD for literally anything and I'm interested in giving it a shot. |
Show |
| I am interested because my job will soon be transitioning to writing more flight code and I want to have a better understanding of how to thoroughly test this code. |
Show |
| I use cpputest and would like to know more about it. |
Show |
| My manager put it on my schedule. I'm interested to find out more, in any case. |
Show |
| I want to learn how to design testable code and learn better unit testing techniques. |
Show |
| I've taken the class before and loved it. It has drastically changed me as a developer. I wanted 21 other folks at Blue to know about how to do TDD and go forth and teach others. |
Show |
| Our discipline is problem solving. There isn't a single hammer that solves every problem. Have very little experience with TDD but it seems like a good approach. |
Show |
| To learn how to write more reliable code. |
Show |
| I am driving the test and verification of flight components. People like to know that we can trust what is getting put on a rocket. |
Show |
| I want to learn effective techniques for applying TDD as my general and long-term development methodology. |
Show |
| because my employer very rarely springs for training and so I am latching on to this opportunity! But, having said that, I am genuinely interested in furthering my TDD knowledge.
|
Show |
| I want expert advice on applying TDD to C code. |
Show |
| I want to create good code because chances are it will result into good products. I also think it's a key tool for teamwork, but if I'm not confident using it, it's harder to encourage the rest of the team to do it. |
Show |
| Because I'm still at the beginning of my career and don't like to learn it the wrong way like I other guys I see. |
Show |
| Want to see if I can still code. |
Show |
| If I want to preach quality, I must practice the techniques myself and insure they are incorporated into our development processes. We can only teach and influence by example, never exhortation. |
Show |
| Because I want to write more effective tests, and have a greater confidence that the tests that I write are actually indicative of correct behavior of the unit under test. |
Show |
| Honestly, I'm just looking for a TDD Refresher. It's been long enough, and I don't normally practice TDD, but I still feel it's a good skill to keep polished. |

Show |
| Developing test harness for critical component, want it to be best it can possibly be |
Show |
| If this is a process that can be easily applied, then it will be useful. It is important that this is not an all-or-nothing technique as that will be hard to implement across all sections of development engineering. |
Show |
| I am not time-efficient in developing software. Without a comp sci degree, I'm more of a hobbyist suddenly having to use his hobby to do work, and it shows. |
Show |
| To learn more and be better at TDD |
Show |
| To learn the latest embedded systems best practices from an industry perspective. I will then enhance our software engineering curriculum accordingly. |
Show |
| I want to learn more in my new field, and this sounds interesting. |
Show |
| How does TDD apply to the Embedded with H/W I/O's, as opposed to iOS or Windows? How do I test GUI elements? How do we apply continuous integration (Agile!) methodologies? How can test suites/frameworks work with C (and legacy C) code?
|
Show |
| I'm always trying to be a better developer and learn more. (Also my company is paying for it) |
Show |
| We are short staffed and often spend a long time in the test cycle only to find additional bugs. Manual testing is time consuming and still doesn't provide a quality level expected by our customers. |
Show |
| To learn more effective testing techniques. To learn ways to introduce other developers to TDD. |
Show |
| I want to be really good and comfortable at using TDD so that I can use it for every project in the future. |
Show |
| I've heard from others that TDD is valuable. I want to implement it with my team, but have not been successful. |
Show |
| We as a company want to introduce unit testing into our development, but have no good clue on where to start. |
Show |
| Company decision and I never had any training in TDD even though I have used it.. I expect to learn more about TDD and use it from now.. |
Show |
| Getting legacy code unit tested. Don't know how to start at the moment... |
Show |
| - |
Show |
| I hope to learn something new to improve my work |
Show |
| 2-fold:
- understanding the challenges and benefits from applying such a system and be able to spar with the team on the many steps forward
- figure out the fine line between optimal use/ implementation vs overkill/insufficient benefit |
Show |
| To see if tdd is something for me/mastervolt. |
Show |
| As a subcontractor I got it offered and I accepted to see if this might change things with respect to the previous question. |
Show |
| Because my manager told me so :) |
Show |
| I have been too much concentrated in algorithm development, I want to get up to date with the best and latest practice. |
Show |
| It might give some useful insights for how I can improve the design/implementation/time-line of test suites for new projects - perhaps they shouldn't be knocked out after the main project development |
Show |
| Truth is because I have been told by my manager, but I am very happy to attend, if I would have a choice I would have raised my hand to attend anyway. I am truly interested in this topic, reducing my debug time? Increasing Quality? Where do I sign? |
Show |
| Brush up skills |
Show |
| To learn how to best design unit tests for embedded projects. To become convinced on the value of writing unit tests so that I will do it more often. To have the chance to travel and meet colleagues from other offices. |
Show |
| I know I'm not doing the testing part right, I want to learn how to make it right |

| to know more about tdd
not really convinced that that will work for us, but let's see |
Show |
| To spend less time doing rework and to get a better understanding of what has to be done. |
Show |
| I do a lot of development outside work that integrates embedded systems with different systems. I'm still hacking things together. This could serve as a good basis to improve my development processes. |
Show |
| To learn more about TDD and how effectively we can use TDD techniques in my daily work / career. |
Show |
| My manager informed me about this course and advised me to enroll, I think I could benefit from the course. |
Show |
| To ask you some follow-up questions on TDD w/ the perspective of having used it on production code for 1 year. |
Show |
| To increase team common language around principles and practices and their buy-in to the worthwhileness |
Show |
| I want to be able to write less shitty tests and see what "good" tests look like. |
Show |
| I've already completed one tdd course and am really interested in some SOLID coaching. |
Show |
| There are some larger things I hope to see come out of this class. Personally, I want a better understanding of the implementation details of mocking. |
Show |
| I'd like to learn how to use the different tools correctly so that I can apply them in a clean manner. I want feel that my unit tests are clean and well written rather than ugly and messy. |
Show |
| Took it before and really didn't know much about programming at all. Hoping I'll be in a position to grasp more this time around. |
Show |
| I want to become a better SWE and write code like professionals. |
Show |
|
To make using TDD like breathing. |
Show |
| I actually like the idea of TDD, so I want to know more about it.
|
Show |
| Elgardo signed me up. |
Show |
| Opportunity to get formal training in TDD in hopes to properly apply these techniques in upcoming new product development efforts. |
Show |
| Anything that can help my life easier for Testing and/or developing I want to learn about it. |
Show |
| I thought it was a good opportunity as a tester to look at developers techniques and find ways to perform better testing. |
Show |
| I want to learn how to apply TDD in an embedded environment, since I currently am working on an embedded project. |
Show |
| To learn about TDD. |
Show |
| I have never officially been trained in tdd. I would like to learn the concepts of tdd in a formal setting by an instructor. I would like to see if my understanding and implementations are the correct ways to implement tdd. |
Show |
| to learn |
Show |
| I was assigned. |
Show |
| To create the foundation and exposure to other co-workers about the value of TDD for embedded. To obtain expert and practical knowledge of TDD for embedded systems. |
Show |
| To learn the present state of tdd, the costs and benefits, and how it might fit for our projects. |
Show |
| Rest of my team went through the same training and (they) believe it is a good approach |
Show |
| I hope to gain useful info that I can use in my job and my career. I am not sure if my team will actually commit to change, but if they do, I am behind it. |
Show |
| 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. |
Show |
| Most of my team took this workshop before I joined and found it extremely useful. My manager registered me & the rest of the new folks on the team. |
Show |
| I was asked if I was interested by my company and I said yes. We are just introducing TDD into my team and I want to make sure we're all on the same page. |
Show |
| People I work with have taken it and it sounds like it was useful to them and I want to know what they're talking about when they reference it. |
Show |
| I enjoy learning new techniques and ways to improve my own workflow and skill set, and enjoy opportunities to grow/improve as an engineer whenever those opportunities present themselves. |
Show |
| keep learning new technology - the concept and practice of TDD. |
Show |
| Wanting to learn how to better test my code |
Show |
| I am interested in the the different way of developing software, focusing on fully testing software that is written. |
Show |
| I would like to increase my skill in programming, and decrease debug time when development software. |
Show |
| To improve my code quality, reducing bugs after release.
To improve my performance. |
Show |
| Looking for an effective testing method which can reduce development time and increase system stability. |
Show |
| I want to know what's TDD, how it help me to improve my job |
Show |
| I would like to know how I can design a system that is easy to test and maintain with minimum effort. |
Show |
| my company request me |
Show |
| Know clear about TDD to apply in our system |
Show |
| Really interested in the concept of TDD and how to apply that to our project. Why i like the concept (from reading your book actually), it's not really straightforward on how to apply that to real-world embedded applications. |
Show |
| To have more information about the TDD, and apply to our work to make the testing process more effectively. |
Show |
| Improve the quality of code to handle as most corner cases as possible |
Show |
| Extended knowledge |
Show |
| Company compulsory |
Show |
| HR requests me |
Show |
| It was offered as an option and it's an area I'd love to get some more expose too. |
Show |
| I want to spend less time debugging and finally learn the testing harnesses for C/C++. |
Show |
| Most folks on my team have taken it. I am responsible and held accountable for writing safety critical software... efficiently.
I would like to learn about anything that can help me achieve that goal. |
Show |
| I don't have any formal training for writing unit tests (or all that much formal instruction for programming in general), but feel it would benefit me to better learn the tools and theory behind unit testing and TDD. |
Show |
| In order to smooth my understanding of TDD in embedded C, which I have read personally in the past, and to expand my wider TDD skills with a deeper knowledge of the practice. That's the real answer, I'm that exciting. |
Show |
| company provided training, but I've long seen the value of TDD and I'm looking for ways to improve our process |
Show |
| I am training to become a developer. |
Show |
| na |
Show |
| I think TDD is vital to developing quality software and while I've been practicing it for many years, I've never taken any formal training on it so it made sense for me to go through it with my team. |
Show |
| I am interested in a TDD approach to writing software. I am also interested in learning strategies for building mocks and fakes for faster development of code blocks using a TDD approach. |
Show |
| To learn something new to me and help me apply TDD to my software development flow. |
Show |
| Because others thought this was the right time to introduce this training while a geographically disperse group are at our sight for other internal training. |
Show |
| I recently had my project taken away and given to a team overseas and I had little else to do. |
Show |
| i am an embedded systems developer for long. And i have heard from my peers for the past 3-4 years in different parts of the world where i have been that to achieve gud results in this domain TDD is a very important tool. |
Show |
| improve testing in our team |
Show |
| to learn about tdd in embedded C |
Show |
| Was part of the instructional week, I didn't choose to. But in saying that I am interested. |
Show |
| Generally interested in moving to more TDD. |
Show |
| I have been reading a few dev books recently (including your own) and the use of TDD makes a lot of sense to me, but I get stuck on an embedded level, and when working with legacy code. |
Show |
| To better understand and expert's view of TDD. |
Show |
| 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. |
Show |
| To learn about and bring ideas to my team about a more concrete way of verifying code, with the intent of increasing software quality. |
Show |
| I have met no-one who is really convinced of tdd. I'd like to exchange experience or discuss tdd challenges and how to solve them. And I would like to this using concrete example code. |
Show |
| To learn about TDD.
I am hoping TDD might help with the following:
More rigorous testing of code.
Making re-factoring/optimization of code easier.
Faster development
|
Show |
| To explore how I could contribute to a highly reliable, tested software solution |
Show |
| To get tools and improve my skills further |
Show |
| Learn how to use the company's testing methodology |
Show |
| Well, I don't have must experience of industrial software development. So, I want to polish my software development skills. |
Show |
| I was suggested to go by a colleague and I accepted since I think its always good to increase ones knowledge. |
Show |
| besides the obvious, to learn about the concept.
if there is potential to improve our product and/or way of working with this concept, we should of course learn more.
also partly, networking with other developers within the organisation. |
Show |
| My manager asked me if I was interested and he said he wanted me to go. As said, I mainly work with verification but am interested in the sw dev process and how we can improve the quality from an early stage. How can I contribute to that? |
Show |
| Because I am actually really interested in understanding how I can work TDD for real. |
Show |
| As both Scrum Master and member of the development team I've been pushing for the team to improve quality. Coming from more of a implementation background myself, I look forward to get inspiration for how to improve the team's test methods. |
Show |
| i'm curious and i would like to have a bigger technical luggage |
Show |
| My manager asked me if i am interested and it did sound very interesting and i knew it is an important aspect of software developement, which i intend to continue doing in coming years. |
Show |
| Reverting as a developer after a couple of years so this training could be a good recall. |
Show |
| To become a better developer andwrite cleaner code. Want to write code i’m not affraid to change. |
Show |
| I want to get better at software development.
We need to be better at software development at Volvo. |
Show |
| To help grow and improve my testing approach to deliver better quality and safe software (since Lithium Batteries can be hazardous if not run correctly)... |
Show |
| I want to better learn TDD and decide if it’s worth doing at my company. |
Show |
| Learn more about TDD. |
Show |
| I want to learn more about TDD; I was the one who pushed for this training because I think it can make our lives easier at work. I really hope this is the case. |
Show |
| I would like to introduce TDD into my team so that we can write even better code! |
Show |
| 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) . |
Show |
| With our limited number of developers which are responsible for all phases of development and test and our resistance to writing test cases, a TDD approach to put the focus on test cases seems like a logical approach to better test coverage. |
Show |
| Want to improve the development processes used in my department. |
Show |
| I'm always looking to learn more and stay relevant, this class struck me as something I'd be interested in learning more about. |
Show |
| I'd like to overcome some hurdles that I have not been able to come up with sufficient solutions on my own. Specifically, during development I run into roadblocks and analysis paralysis trying to devise testing solutions for complex components. |
Show |
| Expand my knowledge of firmware development and learn more about coding standards. |
Show |
| I have read your book, and my manager is interested in improving our software processes. |
Show |
| I want to speed my development along and manual testing is rarely fun. Our team is rapidly expanding and I need an easier mechanism for verifying quality of code. We need to do it but I've struggled to get something that is useful for embedded. |
Show |
| James offered to let me see how James runs a TDD class and does class handling. I'll learn some things that will help me build my tech training business. And maybe I get to do business with him someday. |
Show |
| to know how I test my code efficiently |
Show |
| Emphasize TDD in company development.
It seems to be necessary for the nature of manufacturing.
However, there are many difficult factors such as schedule and development environment.
I wonder how to manage these parts. |
Show |
| learn to make good test |
Show |
| to know how to introduce TDD in real field case (not academic case) |

Show |
| I've read your book and had a lot of good things about good SW. |
Show |
| To make enhanced S/W development performing |
Show |
| My boss wants me to settle up an automation test framework of my module. |
Show |
| It is mandatory |
Show |
| I applied for enrollment by company policy. |
Show |
| team leaer's recommandation |
Show |
| I want to learn how to review C++ coding on tdd |
Show |
| Want to learn a formal way of developing software |
Show |
| Part of my Smart Goals |
Show |
| To learn more about how to code effectively |
Show |
| Its a chance to take a break from work and learn something new. |
Show |
| To become a more proficient developer of code that requires less manual testing. |
Show |
| The while dept is signed up for it. |
Show |
| Requirement from supervision. Although had I been prompted would have gladly enrolled myself as I have wanted to dig more into C++ and my formal instruction on TDD and agile has been very brief. |
Show |
| To save time during the testing phases of code development. |
Show |
| Determination if it is a fit for the organization. |
Show |
| Mandated |
Show |
| Our director of engineering would like to start using TDD and has scheduled this course. However, I am also interested in this approach to help reduce the amount of time needed to do regression testing / maintenance after bug fixes and new features. |
Show |
| Many embedded devs I respect recommend the course and I want to improve to their level. |
Show |
| To learn how you teach TDD in an embedded context. What constraints are there? What are the pitfalls? What do you need to do differently from test driving a web or mobile app? |
Show |
| C and C++ are going to be valuable languages to know in the IoT world. I need to learn these and how to test them to be a more valuable developer. |
Show |
| Small company without other developers, QA team, etc. Need better way to develop and maintain code and have higher confidence. There is not time or resources to test code so need to have other ways to test (ie: automated)... |
Show |
| Because reading your book is one thing, working through it in hands-on sessions a totally other thing. It turns passive into active knowledge. |
Show |
| I have been asked to attend this class and evaluate TDD for deployment in my current project. |
Show |
| So that I can implement my learnings to help the business for further growth. |
Show |
| To learn to apply TDD |
Show |
| I am curious about what are benefits of TDD ?
I have wasted(actually invested) lots of time in fixing bugs and rework in the code which was written/reviewed by myself.
As per information I read about TDD it will save these things. |
Show |
| we have spend may times on debugging , I really want to see the practical results of TDD . |
Show |
| Already aware of few software development methodologies, keen to learn something new and applying it in our work. |
Show |
| It's a best approach to develop soft as it allows you to create a testable software because you are using tests to drive the development. TDD is rapidly used in all organisation to develop quality software,So learning this will help in dev. skills. |
Show |
| I am aware about purpose of TDD, but I would like to know how it can be actually used in Embedded Software Development. I have heard that TDD is time consuming, so I want to really know how it can be implemented efficiently in our projects. |
Show |
| To gain more knowledge about writing good code and exploring TDD to see if it's the right fit for me. |
Show |
| Selected by my manager to attend. |
Show |
| 1. To expose myself to other points of view on testing.
2. To improve future projects at my company.
3. As a form of professional development.
4. To constantly be learning.
5. Because my manager said so. (But mostly the first 4!) |
Show |
| I want to become a better, more effective developer.
|
Show |
| Replacing a coworker in the class. Just found out the Friday before. |
Show |
| I was told to do so. But it seems like a good idea. |
Show |
| To learn about unit testing best practices, tools and hopefully learn about ways to follow TDD more efficiently |
Show |
| I'd like to revisit TDD + try spread the word within my team. I'd like to get better at maintaining + testing legacy code with less frustration. |
Show |
| Learn more about TDD; support Jake and represent my team. |
