Training Preparation -- Why these 100 Attendees Are at TDD Training
| Why are you attending this class? | |
|---|---|
| To improve my professional career by having more insight on how to develop applications faster and more reliable, particularly in hardware projects |
Show |
| To gain a much deeper understanding of why how and when to use TDD. |
Show |
| - I really want to learn Unit testing and make it like my second nature regarless of the language that I use to program. |
Show |
| To fully understand what TDD is. To learn the good habits and techniques and to be able to apply them in our current project |
Show |
| Never tried TDD, we are starting a new project (~2months old) it would be the perfect time to learn and implement a more efficent method of developing. |
Show |
| I wish to improve my workflow and be able to create more reliable code. |
Show |
| Want to know more than just the name. Its recommended by a lot of colleagues, want to understand how it can help me and my team |
Show |
| I came across your website a year ago when I was working at a different company where testing was all done manually, ugh months and months of filling in test steps and results in a excel sheet. |
Show |
| Want to learn TDD |
Show |
| Starting to get more involved in firmware development. TDD seems like it will save time and catch edge cases hard to implement on target. |
Show |
| To gain deeper understanding of TDD which allow me to justify sending the rest of my team to training. |
Show |
| I usually work by TDD.
then I'd like to know how to apply embedded software.
example learn good mocking practice. |
Show |
| I heard about TDD from a co-worker whose been using it on his own developments. I see the benefits to it and want to learn more. |
Show |
| I want to write better software. |
Show |
| I have an interest in this and it's corporate provided training which makes it easy to take and pay for. I also like the Agile methodology and am interested in seeing how TDD fits with that. |
Show |
| To change my current quick and dirty (probably ineffective) testing habits, replacing them with a methodical system. |
Show |
| I want to learn about TDD and how it can help me improve the software I deliver. |
Show |
| TDD seems like it will make me and the team better software developers. TDD is a positive trend for the software development community. |
Show |
| learn TDD for C-only projects; understand how to apply TDD to firmware that needs to run on hardware (e.g. TDD for DMA SPI driver that only has problems after the MPU comes out of a low-power state) |
Show |
| Improve delivering quality software |
Show |
| Don't you know what's going on outside? |
Show |
| i was "encouraged" to |
Show |
| Improved software development velocity, decrease expensive debugging sessions. Reduce the reliance on breakpoint debugging. |
Show |
| As my software team has just formed we decided since we are just starting out we might as well try to establish good habits from the start. |
Show |
| I have a lighter project load during this apocalypse. |
Show |
| Lots of new developers in my department. Want them to do software engineering not just programming and create better products in less time. |
Show |
| Our group is trying to do things better. |
Show |
| TDD seemed like something, since already offered, I should at least be exposed to, since at least in theory, it seems like a good idea. I will decide whether it is something I actually want to integrate into my development process. |
Show |
| To learn more/refresh about TDD. |
Show |
| The boss is making me do it :) |
Show |
| suggested by management |
Show |
| organization push development adopting TDD |
Show |
| Was asked by management. Not my first preference. My opinion: the company needs to increase the resourcing/infrastructure for automated testing before asking developers to just "write more tests". |
Show |
| To learn on what are the test methods and process use by others witch and standards in the firmware industry. |
Show |
| I'm feeling kind of useless as a Scrum trainer and wondering if it's too late for me to go back to a normal programming job. |
Show |
| I want to write more robust code! |
Show |
| I would like to help myself (and team) get better at creating sustainable code. |
Show |
| - To better understand what are 'good concepts'/'way of working' to create testable/tested embedded code.
- What environment is needed for good (unit)tests (Do they need to run on target? With(out) the RTOS? |
Show |
| I'm not happy with how many errors I introduce to my code at the moment.
I started coding in a TDD way but I'm too slow at it. So when deadlines approached I skip TDD and more errors are found latter.
So my goals are: better and faster. |
Show |
| My team is not happy with the unit testing approach on other projects. We are trying something new on this one. I want to make sure we are on the right track and get ideas for improvement. |
Show |
| I want to develop firmware fast, reduce debugging time, be lest paranoid that a fatal bug is going to make it to deployment. |
Show |
| We've started to adopt unit testing. I'm interesting in learning new strategies to help with this. |
Show |
| I want to learn TDD as our company begins to ramp up our testing frameworks. I believe that having a strong understanding of TDD can not only improve our team's testing abilities, but also improve my own coding skills. |
Show |
| Learn methods of applying TDD to legacy code, particularly separating GUI and other views from the process and presenter. I usually end up re-writing large amounts of code to add TDD. |
Show |
| To learn how to improve the way that I test code. |
Show |
| I hate debugging code, especially my own. |
Show |
| Heard about you from Elecia White (I did a show with her and Chris a while back). Learned more about TDD, decided it was a good idea. |
Show |
| To learn about how to deliver training over the Internet, with strong curiosity about how the pros do embedded programming. |
Show |
| I'm new to the team, and some of the other team members have recommended the class. Also, some of the coding standards and development processes adopted by the team are inspired by the course - so it makes sence for me to adopt as well. |
Show |
| I hate making erros and hate event more finding erros mad by others. I want to spend my time being productive while trying to ship fewer errors. I want like some kind of defensive measure, which helps me in find my own errors early.
|
Show |
| I have been having a difficulties with testing in general when developing embedded software. It takes so much time to test. |
Show |
| To learn more how to develop a good software. |
Show |
| my boss asked me to sign up and take it; other folks said it was pretty good. |
Show |
| * To get a common language regarding test and code in our team
* To get a common understanding on good/bad tests in our team
* To refresh on TDD habits
|
Show |
| To refresh my knowledge on TDD and because I want the team to have a common understanding of the principles and values of TDD. |
Show |
| A colleague have recomended the course. |
Show |
| I felt that I need to have hardware mocking explained to me, reading the TDD book exposed me to a lot of ideas at once and I need help focusing on what's important. |
Show |
| It's one of my employee goals. I want to be more effective at my job and generate easy to read/modular code effectively |
Show |
| My manager made me |
Show |
| To learn TDD concepts and determine if it is right for our group |
Show |
| Because my coworkers took it last year when I wasn't an employee yet and they offered me to take it and I said yes. Also, I'm curious to know what this training looks like. |
Show |
| Pawel says it's a good opportunity, I have no idea what TDD is, and it's for Embedded C/C++ |
Show |
| It's because my manager told me told, and also because I want to learn more about TDD |
Show |
| My manager recommended I attend. Probably because he doesn't think I do enough testing. |
Show |
| like to learn more and read James' TDD code before |
Show |
| I believe we don't test our code well enough. I'm looking to learn more about test methods which will increase quality and confidence in our system. |
Show |
| We want to see if this will be a good learning experience for our group |
Show |
| I like the concept if getting working code quickly and reduce bugs |
Show |
| The company is giving us the chance to do it, and I think it is a great opportunity to learn how to perform robust testing. It can save a lot of time and it can help to gain confidence on the code you write. |
Show |
| I want to learn how to organize and reach to our goals in a better way. I have been following Barr Group for years and I think I could learn a lot from your trainigs. That is why I recommended Barr Group's trainings to the company. |
Show |
| As I said, we have started with TDD not long time ago. I
want to attend it so that we can learn more, see what we
are doing wrong, what should we change, new approaches,
etc. |
Show |
| |
Show |
| To learn and improve my software developing skills |
Show |
| Because my boss wants we improve our work quality and I also think it's good for us. |
Show |
| Once you start working in a business do a good quality job or simply do not do it. I like doing good quality job. |
Show |
| I think it is neccesary to know TDD to be a good programmer |
Show |
| I want to learn this technique to be a better programmer. I have been wanting to have this type of training since I started to follow Barr Group, so I'm happy I got the opportunity. |
Show |
| I'm interested in improving my C development skills |
Show |
| The company has offer to do it and it looks interesting |
Show |
| I'm curious about how TDD works and how it can be used in embededd systems. |
Show |
| I want to learn more about this so that on future and current projects I can employ it and have it benefit myself and my team during our development process. |
Show |
| I want to follow best principles like these to be a better engineer, and to teach others around me. I like carrying lessons forward.
I hope to apply the skillset to other work with Python and C++ as well. |
Show |
| I'm interested in this paradigm in practice to potentially make it a standard for our development teams. |
Show |
| Growth as a SW developer. |
Show |
| After chasing bugs in legacy code, I'd like to implement tdd structure for that project. Also, I'm starting to manage a project, and I've seen the benefits of tdd in my other project. |
Show |
| I am hoping to develop some best practices for embedded development. |
Show |
| I want my code to have less errors and be able to re-check itself when I make changes. |
Show |
| I want to improve my overall embedded coding skills. I haven't had any formal instruction on how to test embedded systems, so this seemed like a really useful class. |
Show |
| My superiors have taken this class before and they recommend it to all junior staff. |
Show |
| I'm working with legacy code for an embedded micro-controller that has no unit test strategy. I would like to test parts of it on a PC and I'm looking to learn techniques to apply. |
Show |
| I would like to expand my toolbox for embedded software testing and learn the skills to more easily integrate TDD into my projects. I also want to learn to efficiently reduce the number and scope of tests requiring hardware-in-the-loop testing. |
Show |
| I want to improve the software quality of our organization. I've tried using TDD on previous embedded projects but the time required to look up how to do things in C and adapt build systems meant I couldn't do much due to time constraints. |
Show |
| To have more formal training on the subject. I really like what I've been able to gain from my own reading but wanted to go further. |
Show |
| Want the ability to run more comprehensive tests on code |
Show |
| Arranged by our company. Although we apply test driven development it would be good to look into what new concepts the TDD can bring in. |
Show |
| Colleague recommended. |
Show |
| Because my boss told me to. |
Show |
| To see if there is a way to improve my test coverage without significantly impacting on the time to run sanity checks. |
Show |
| To enable a common testing methodology in the office as each group has there own way of doing things currently. |
Show |
| There was a spare space at short notice! |
