VDI Embedded Software Engineering: TDD in Action

📢 Invitation to the fourth meetup of the VDI Embedded Software Engineering Working Group about Test-Driven Development in Action

We’re excited to invite you to our next session at MOIA’s office in Hamburg!
This time we’ll dive into Test-Driven Development (TDD) and experience how this practice can help us write better, more maintainable code — working on an example in C++.

👉 To attend the event a quick registration via the Event Page is required. Join us for free and experience TDD in action!

MOIA invites us again into their modern Open Space in the heart of the city and thankfully provides drinks and food.

🔹 Topic: Test-Driven Development in action
🕕 Time: 18:00
📅 Date: November 12th 2025
📍 Location: MOIA GmbH | Stadthausbrücke 8, 20355 Hamburg | Open Space, 1st Floor
Everyone is welcome, VDI membership not mandatory.

About this working group:
The working group Embedded Software Engineering is aimed at all interested individuals, especially young engineers and professionals looking to deepen their knowledge in hardware-related software development. It is a voluntarily organized group of the VDI e.V. and driven by community engagement.

We plan to cover topics such as:

Embedded Systems

• Software development considering the limitations of embedded microcontrollers, FPGAs, and NPUs (AI accelerators)
• Real-time systems and safety-critical systems
• Robotics frameworks (ROS, AUTOSAR)

Software Development

• Hardware-related programming languages such as modern C++, Rust, etc.
• Software development methodologies (Object-Oriented, Functional, Behavior-Driven Design)
• Test Driven Development (TDD), Behaviour Driven Development (BDD)

Automated Testing

• Test automation frameworks
• Tooling (Google Test, Python, etc.)
• AI assistants in programming and testing

We aim to share knowledge, discuss best practices, and encourage interaction between participants.
