This is the kind of stuff that in the aggregate you can't show a relationship, but I bet if you controlled for type of project one would see some interesting results. Anecdotally, I know some firmware engineers that shit out the buggiest code I have ever seen, and test driven development would have definitely improved the customer experience. Because when the engineers have literally no tests other than trying stuff out with a printf on the target embedded device, any amount unit-testing will wind up helping.
- Tyr42 10y agoI just came out of an embedded system-sy project, and I did have some tests for my ringbuffs, and sprintf. But tests for any of the interactions between subsystems is quite problematic. And then testing on the device might be problematic due to space constraints, but testing on a simulation is also problematic... I don't know how you'd realistically test it.
