Training Preparation -- Why these 100 Attendees Are at TDD Training

Why are you attending this class?
Assigned as a new hire, plus it's good to refresh my knowledge.
Show
Because I want to get better at TDD
Show
Because I won it in a competition.
Show
Because my manager wants that we all start making more unit tests and he wants to use TDD approach.
Show
Company encouragement, but I want to learn anything from experienced programmers I can.
Show
Company requirement
Show
Curiosity.
Show
Desire to improve quality and efficiency of testing, in order to create higher quality products.
Show
Evaluate if this is a good course for colleagues that want to take programming to the next level
Show
Getting deeper understanding of TDD and practical experience with different concepts related to that
Show
Hopefully to find better and easier ways to accomplish the "boring" parts of development
Show
Hoping to raise the technical standard of BSU's hardware labs
Show
I am attending the course to in hopes to learn better code architecture strategies
Show
I am familiar with software testing but I can't talk about concepts with peers.
Show
I can't imagine how TDD can work in real life. I want to find out if I'm wrong about that :)
Show
I find embedded C interesting and I want to do more of it. To make that happen, I must improve :)
Show
I have a legacy project that I want to refactor and setup tests
Show
I have read the book and want to exercise what I have learned to share with my team
Show
I know there is better ways of writing and testing code, however it is not done yet at work
Show
I like to learn how to apply TDD practically
Show
I see value in TDD, but has/is difficult with legacy stuff
Show
I try to attend all possible trainings to improve myself as a professional.
Show
I want to be more efficient at applying/championing TDD to future work
Show
I want to become better, and make things go more smoothly.
Show
I want to develop the finest TDD skills I can, and be better able to coach colleagues to do so.
Show
I want to get better at delivering high quality code and I see being an expert in TDD as the way
Show
I want to know if tdd is useful, and if yes, I would like to do tdd in the future.
Show
I want to learn how to build embedded systems reliably.
Show
I want to learn more about TDD, I have heard and read stuff but really not got time to get hands-on.
Show
I want to see if TDD is all that it's cracked up to be (actually useful) or if it's just a buzzword.
Show
I want to understand how to 'think' properly about testing at the macro level
Show
I want to write code that doesnt embarrass me when I share it.
Show
I was asked to and subject is interesting
Show
I was recommended it by Steve Branam and most recently I'm finding it could be useful for FPGA's.
Show
I would like to practice my TDD skills more and apply it to my work from the bottom-up.
Show
I'm attending because my manager asked, also I'm curious to learn more.
Show
I'm interested in refining my development style.
Show
I'm looking for ways to implement tests and mock drivers on my computer.
Show
I've heard a lot of negative opinions on TDD, and some positive. I'm want to form my own opinion :)
Show
In order to get better at TDD.
Show
Information declined.
Show
It was offered to me, and I'd like to write better tests
Show
It was suggested by my manager. I'm not a software developer by trade, but would like to learn.
Show
James convinced me it would be great for me and my team :)
Show
Learn more about embedded development process
Show
Learn more and be better at TDD.
Show
Learning the the TDD, and using it when I have to write code. I don't work on big projects though.
Show
Manager suggested it and it sounds interesting to me
Show
Mandated by manager
Show
Mostly to learn more about embedding programming (not so much TDD)
Show
My employer would like me to undertake this training.
Show
My manager set up the training so she encouraged us to attend plus it sounded relevant to my work.
Show
My manager volunteered me for it.
Show
Need to use it
Show
Out current testing approach isn't working. I am interested in other approaches for testing.
Show
Professional development, and whilst I have learnt TDD on the job, I've never had a formal course.
Show
Reading "TDD for embedded" book improved my TDD knowledge a lot. I want to go to the next step.
Show
Standardize how we do testing
Show
TDD course is required by my company, but I'm also courious how it works and want to learn more.
Show
TDD is controversial, I want to grow a pragmatic understanding of when and how it should be used.
Show
Testing code in units is faster than testing on HW. Want to get better at it.
Show
The real reason is because I'm interested in learning in general. Especially if it's something good.
Show
To brush up in preparation for building our AOS code library
Show
To formalize my TDD learning and fill any knowledge gaps/ learn best practices
Show
To gain better knowledge about TDD in the embedded space.
Show
To gain some experience in an aspect of software that I have not encountered before.
Show
To get some new or old ideas for testing and developing software more efficiently
Show
To have better tools for refactoring code
Show
To improve my design and test efficiency while creating robust software
Show
To learn about TDD
Show
To learn better methods of coding - even if I don't agree with them, I would like to understand them
Show
To learn how to better integrate tdd in my day-to-day.
Show
To learn how to structure code to be tested and how to set up and write tests.
Show
To learn more about automation, left-shift and white-box testing.
Show
To learn more about test driven development, become a better programmer.
Show
To learn new methodology.
Show
To learn new ways to develop more efficiently
Show
To learn something new, to get new ideas for solving old problems,
Show
To let code strongger
Show
To see if TDD is better understood, appreciated and internalised through a workshop instead of book
Show
Volunteers were needed (and I was kind a interested to learn more about TDD)
Show
Want to understand tdd properly.
Show
Wanting to gain some insight testing and re-verification
Show
Well, I wanted to know more about TDD and maybe try to introduce it in our work.
Show
Write better tests
Show
You gave me the chance to check out the online version to recommend to my colleagues. Learn more.
Show
You generously offered it to me!
Show
employer assigned to me
Show
hope to learn more advanced techniques. Hope to make code base more debuggable
Show
i have received feedback that I need to improve my TDD skills
Show
i want to develop my approach to TDD
Show
learn the art of TDD; how to write tests to drive the code, how to do abstraction/interfacing
Show
seeking to enhance my skill and knowledge
Show
someone signed me up, plus it'll be helpful for a project i'm working on
Show
team exercise
Show
test only
Show
to learn
Show
to learn how my life can be made simpler when coding, and producing good modular code
Show
want to learn the fundamental knowledge of TDD, hope it will be used in daily work
Show
what "level" to write the tests at? (e.g. external interface only etc)
