  • Practical experience authoring automated unit tests using GoogleTest, Catch2, or equivalent frameworks.
  • Experience writing stubs and mocks for software interacting with CORBA middleware, specifically OIS C++ ORB, or complex inter-process communication protocols.
  • Familiarity with CMake build environments and gcov/gcovr profiling tools.

Responsibilities

  • Write modular, automated unit tests and mocks targeting approximately 60 executables and more than 170 libraries.
  • Integrate test suites into CMake-based build configurations using test frameworks such as GoogleTest or Catch2.
  • Implement stubs and mock interfaces to decouple real-time application logic from CORBA middleware (OIS C++ ORB) and inter-process communication layers.
  • Execute code coverage passes and resolve gaps to verify compliance with the 80% coverage mandate.
