  • Date entered: 2012-04-06 12:54:26 UTC
  • Course rating: very good
  • Most useful learnings: How to develop tests first to shape production code. Running tests in an automated fashion for every build is very important.
  • Concepts v exercises: good balance
  • Presentation v discussion: Good balance
  • Course improvements: At the beginning; need to walk class through training exercises; keeping everyone together instead of going over it on the projector; then turning everyone loose to complete it.
  • Exercise rating: good
  • Exercise improvements: They were good. The exercises on mocks was a little confusing and more time could be spent on this.
  • Instructor comments: Very knowledgeable
  • Better prepared: Moderately
  • Start tomorrow: Yes; I will.
  • Challenges to applying: Biggest challenges are getting the production code ported into the test harness environment. Working through the compiler specific issues for the particular target device. Also; developing meaningful and thorough test cases.
