- Exercises - Planned activities in example problems prepared by Wingman Software.
- Workshop - Group activities where the attendees work in groups on #{company_name} software.
Atttednee Prerequisites and Preparations
The course is designed for software developers. Programmers or managers with programming experience. See the details.
Attendees complete a short survey, and prepare their laptops for the Legacy Code Workshop.
Course Hours
We plan a 7.5 hour day including time for lunch and breaks. It is an intense day at 7.5 hours, though if people want to continue on exercises longer, or have more discussion, we can go over the scheduled time as needed. It is best if your organization prepared for you to work on training activities without interruption during the core hours.Classroom Setup
Comfortable room with plenty of space for students and instructor. Table seating is preferred over auditorium to facilitate small group discussions.Facilities Needed
Seating
Computer Needs
- cloud servers like cyber-dojo.org
- Please test your network access by visiting cyber-dojo.org, 'Setup' and 'Start' any exercise. If you can select an animal, and then see the exercise instructions and code edit window, your site is ready for the exercises.
Legacy Code Workshop Tooling
A couple weeks before an on-site course, we'll meet to discuss your off-target test environment.Embedded C and C++ Off-Target Development Environment Options
You will need one of these off-target build and execution environments:For windows, we highly recomend using Docker for your unit test environment.
Non-Embedded C/C++Workshops
Starter kits for C and C++
James provides starter kits and instructions for getting a CppUTest environment set up.You will also want to clone legacy-build script, for use in the workshop.
Why do I need different development tools for the legacy code workshop?
Unless you are a special case, your target build and execution environment is slowing you down. One goal of our TDD training and workshop is to help you get your code off the target for unit testing. We'll discuss many advantages during the course. In this training we'll start to reduce the impact of the target hardware bottleneck from your daily work.Latest News
