[QUOTE="krs, post: 1836413, member: 67742"] Thanks Patrick - nice article. Apple seems to have the same general problem my company had software engineers always want to work on the new, hot and sexy features, very few, if any, are happy working on improving the existing code. No glory in that, I suppose. Maybe Apple needs to create a monetary incentive to help with that problem - it's not that hey are short of funds. The one thing I missed in the article is any reference to software verification using automated test programs - I assume Apple runs those on every release; trying to cover all the different combinations and permutations manually is just impossible.
