Course: TDD for Embedded C

Date entered: 2017-10-18 12:30:50 UTC

Course rating: Good

Most useful learnings: Process and methodology for implementing TDD within existing code

Concepts v exercises: Good balance

Presentation v discussion: Too much presentation

Course improvements: I think the course would benefit from a single code-base for the exercises. There's a lot of time wasted in trying to come up to speed on different examples. You might look into finding one set of code that you can implement against.

Exercise rating: Good

Exercise improvements: See above comment

Instructor comments: Came across as a little bit defensive of the curriculum at times. Also got sidetracked on unrelated issues at times.

Better prepared: Moderately

Start tomorrow:

Challenges to applying: Infrastructure and impact to schedules of currently active projects. There is also some level of resistance from the development team, which I will need to overcome.

Other comments: I'd like to see some more in depth examples in the presentations to set people up for success in the exercises. The slides tend to stay at a somewhat abstracted layer and I noticed a lot of people seemed to get off on the wrong foot.

Legacy code workshop: No

Recommend to others: Yes
