Hi Steve Thanks for the detailed account of your experiences. It seems like there are numerous things we could talk about. After a quick scan it seems that...
Hi Stephen, You've certainly brought up a number of key areas where embedded folks tend to get tripped up when they are new to Agile and XP. I think I can give...
Hi Stephen I'll add a little to Nancy's sound advice on design... One important realization on the journey from a BDUF approach to an iterative and agile...
One topic that I see left out of this discussion that I want to add is Continuous Integration (CI). A precursor to being able utilize CI is to have tests that...
The idea of automated testing is tremendously appealing but very hard in the embedded world. But it scares me when we talk about "some testing being better...
Jack, I definitely agree with your argument, and I definitely push for 100% test coverage. I want to clarify that I specifically meant that some test ...
Hi Jack! Nice to see you here in this little group. You're right to point out that it can be too vague to just say "some testing", but if the team is really...

Kai, Glad you've found some of our papers and other materials useful. Looks like you have surfed all the way back to the early days of Unity/CMock in order to...
Kai, I was thinking a little more about what it would take to get CMock to support C++... It would be possible to create a C++ class that would wrap methods in...
