Our Verdict
Delving deep into unit testing in C for embedded systems using the Unity test framework, this course offers valuable insights for TDD practitioners. Yet, it falls short in addressing linker errors within its projects and overlooks alternative testing tools such as CppUtest for diverse learning perspectives. Despite these drawbacks and challenges with vague homework assignments, the course maintains an engaging approach and reinforces essential TDD principles.
What We Liked
- Comprehensive coverage of unit testing in C, particularly with Unity test framework
- Real-world applicable techniques for Test Driven Development (TDD) in embedded and system software projects
- Sandbox provided to facilitate hands-on learning, minimizing setup effort and keeping focus on the methodology
- Knowledgeable instructors who excel at presenting content in an engaging manner, emphasizing TDD principles
Potential Drawbacks
- Incomplete or outdated base projects included with several modules, leading to linker errors and requiring additional workarounds
- Limited discussion of alternative unit testing frameworks like CppUtest for embedded applications
- Potentially vague homework assignments making it challenging to fully grasp edge cases and understand all necessary tests
- Issues with SourceLair 6-month trial promotion inconsistencies, leading to customer confusion
