That's the last thing I expected to know about such a big company.
- aaplthrow227 7y agoWhen I interviewed at Apple last year, they emphasized their use of various robotic contraptions for end-to-end testing over unit tests. One engineer remarked that 20% test coverage was considered on the high end for his team.
- ChrisCinelli 7y agoThey should have more automated tests. But considering this article does not surprise me at all. That also mean probably almost no exploration/fuzzy tests. The kernel may be one of the few exceptions. Considering the secrecy infra-team I would expect almost no integration tests. That also means that Apple products are pretty bad when it come to security contrary to what Apple's marketing wants you to believe.
- saagarjha 7y agoConsidering that they own the entire stack, I honestly think that one of the unofficial integration tests for lower-level components is when the apps sitting on fail to work.
