How long until a beta is release quality?

November 16th, 2008

So, Apple released Safari 3.2 the other day. Running the ACID3 test through it, here are the results:

Safari 3.2 ACID

Safari 3.2 ACID


Compare to the results that come from the nightly builds of Webkit, the open-source foundation from which Safari is built.
Webkit Nightly

Webkit Nightly


Please note that Webkit has been 100/100 ACID3 compliant for almost 5 months. Which begs the question… how long does it take Apple’s QA department to test code? I mean, honestly, I’ve worked with teams that could have QA’ed something as small as WebKit in about 2 weeks.

Get on the ball, Apple!
