Course:
TDD for Embedded C
Date entered:
2015-04-01 22:33:40 UTC
Course rating:
Very Good
Most useful learnings:
A new approach to incremental development that builds test suite with the application.
Concepts v exercises:
Good balance
Presentation v discussion:
Good balance
Course improvements:
Probably best if it were possible to get everyone together in one room. This was mitigated somewhat by the fact that the course makes heavy use of online services & materials, and we were gathered into groups locally. Still, all of us being together in a class room brings out more interaction.
Exercise rating:
Excellent
Exercise improvements:
Not sure.
Instructor comments:
He did a good job. The group was spread-out geographically, and most of us don't know the remote groups very well. We tended not to participate on the phone very much, I think, because we were uncertain who the other people from our company were, or what their attitudes were. A fair amount of distrust between sites unfortunately. The instructor soldiered-on and did get people to talk to him from time-to-time. Valiant effort.
Better prepared:
Much better
Start tomorrow:
Maybe. We tend to move toward particular tool-sets as a larger team. We'll want to pick & install a framework on everyone's systems. I can see how we might apply TDD to our sim environment (builds & runs on linux). Don't think we can do it on code that's loaded onto the device itself (memory limitations ... won't hold a framework).
Challenges to applying:
See my prior comments.
