They said it couldn’t be done… “You can’t do Agile Embedded (use Agile practices and Test Driven Development in embedded software). The hardware is too tightly coupled with the firmware code; RTOSs get in the way. Without objects and interfaces, it’s impossible to write tests before source code.” Ha ha! We laugh in their general direction.
