Where was Apple's QA on this? This seems like a colossal oversight for a company previously known for sweating all the small details.

Where was Apple's QA on this? This seems like a colossal oversight for a company previously known for sweating all the small details.
- sabret00the 14y agoQA on the scale of what they needed wouldn't work. You have to bare in mind that Apple like to keep things close to their chest. To have at least one person per city testing this worldwide was impossible.
- spinchange 14y agoFor the most valuable company on earth, with more cash reserves in the bank than the entire value of most companies? Google has street view cars roaming the planet. I think Apple could do more human QA if it was a priority.
- blrgeek 14y ago> I think Apple could do more human QA if it was a priority. Only if they realized it. It took Google 3 years to realize that they couldn't solve it algorithmically.
- zem 14y agoif you and i know that google tried for three years and then realised humans were needed, why would you think the people over at apple do not?
- locopati 14y agoMy guess would be QA found lots of problems, reported them, fought for them, and, at the end of the day, deadlines are deadlines and the maps app shipped. QA is not some magical barrier and usually is overridden when a go/no-go decision meets are hard ship date (like 'this device must be released now because there's an entire supply chain and retail chain that needs to be coordinated').
