Course: TDD for Embedded C

Date entered: 2015-08-27 20:25:05 UTC

Course rating: Excellent

Most useful learnings: How to use CppuTest framework, going through the process of setting up a unit test with CppuTest with a module from one of our code bases (worked after only ~3.5 hrs -- I wasn't sure we would be able to get it working in the 4 hr time period that we had available)

Concepts v exercises: Good balance

Presentation v discussion: Good balance

Course improvements: Overall, I thought the course was well done. The only improvements that I can think of would be go into more detail on how to detail with some of the deeper points embedded developers bring up sooner in the course. I don't think we really got good insight into how to deal with this until the 3rd day when we tried using one of our code modules.

Exercise rating: Good

Exercise improvements: See comment on how the course can be improved

Instructor comments: Very good. Did a good job describing the process as well as maintaining a pragmatic approach. I think this was important to keep the interest of the developers

Better prepared: Much better

Start tomorrow: yes

Challenges to applying: Key challenge will be getting this started and staying the course
