Atomic Spin :: Elements of Software

We just recently got a last minute notice that we’ve been accepted to present at the Embedded Systems Conference, Silicon Valley 2007. Greg Williams and myself have the honor of presenting a 90 minute tutorial on the Test Driven Development approach Atomic Object has been developing for embedded software. The presentation will cover AO’s Model Conductor Hardware design pattern and the tools we’ve developed to do unit testing and mocking in C.

Our presentation is entitled Mocking the embedded world: practical TDD , continuous integration, and design patterns. The name plays off both the use of mocks in our approach and the challenge we were once given to make Test Driven Development work in embedded systems.

I have to say thank you to the folks over at James Grenning’s Agile Embedded Forum. Our threads of conversation have been quite helpful in refining the eventual presentation of our concepts and work. The timing of those discussions has truly been serendipitous.
