• Course: Test-Driven Development
  • Date entered: 2013-06-28 10:45:36 UTC
  • Course rating: excellent
  • Most useful learnings:
  • Concepts v exercises: good balance
  • Presentation v discussion: Good balance
  • Course improvements:
  • Exercise rating: very good
  • Exercise improvements: It seemed like the latter exercises were more about different types of fakes. It think these exercises would have been better if the fake was not already implemented. Maybe an exercise in taking a source file with a standard Fx and converting it to a Fx* and managing the init/override would have helped more.
  • Instructor comments:
  • Better prepared: Bring it on!
  • Start tomorrow: Yes! My project is in the latter stages of requirements development so it is a great time to get development environments set up and get started writing some TDD code.
  • Challenges to applying: My organization has typically written assembly-level; over-optimized code. As such; many of the best-practices in SW engineering are not employed. Some C is written but typically within the confines of on-target compilation and manual testing.
