Years programming: 24

Primary programming language: C++

Other programming languages: C,python,Java

Unit test harnesses: JUnit

Something else: I have two boys, in second and fourth grade.

Test practice now: Static test regressions

Target system: Code is built for simulation with HDL RTL models to stimulate, inspect, check RTL model against code

Dev tools: IBM Bob (VSCode-based) CMake

Build time: 1-5 minutes

Coding standard: Team has changed/evolved over years, not too strict/fixed, besides avoiding code smells.

Function too long: When you don't remember something from the top by the time you get to the bottom or reading it.

Code reviews: GitHub-based PR reviews for involved team.

Code time: 20

Test time: 20

Debug time: 60

Favorite thing about dev: Being detailed and improving ability to maintain and build-up.

Least favorite thing about dev: Maintenance and debug issues related to changes that could have been addressed with better testing

Tdd knowledge: Use fakes/stubs to reduce/remove dependencies and speed up test and iteration cycles.

Why are you attending: Trying to see if there are better ways to incorporate TDD into our complex code + test structure.
