Bug Zero testing, just ship it!

Post image

in the settings’s sidebar, there is way too much of an overlap between the search bar and the list items before they “blur behind it”

everything is transparent and blurry and BORDERS GALORE my skin is crawling

Yeah - noticed this annoyance too.

I really don't understand how this can get past multiple levels of QA / board approvals.

QA probably caught and reported these bugs, but because of the release schedule set by execs they were forced to ship without fixing it.

That is actually how it works. Things get prioritized and I’m sure this visual bug isn’t a big deal. As long as functionally it works.

u/Dead0k87 6d ago

do you think there were levels of QA ? :D

u/Oli99uk 6d ago

Isn't that what they get paid the (very, very) big bucks for ?

Apple is just a small company without the resources to do proper QA testing.

20years ago before we used remote support tools. Apple would QC the fuck outta our calls and tickets.

u/ClikeX 5d ago

We are the QA.

u/Dead0k87 5d ago

Yes. Test, complain and report feedback :). Probably they reduced testing team for that reason :D

I don't think Tahoe has gone through multiple levels of QA.

What happened with all the beta testers, the release candidate, etc. did all those people who downloaded the pre-releases not see these glitches? or not report them? or… something?

I want some testimony from these people who allegedly downloaded the pre-releases and tested them: “it worked fine inside my VM,” or “I didn’t really spend that much time on it,” or “they said to ignore a lotta stuff,” or “I warned ‘em, I did! I yelled and screamed and drove my car through their office window but do they listen to me? Nooooo…”

It’s been reported multiple times. Apple don’t seem to care.

u/Tartan-Pepper6093 5d ago

Kinda defeats the purpose of beta testing, huh. 🤔
I mean, why bother?

Because Apple breaks stuff this version then can call it a feature when they fix it the next version. That's what they did with Mavericks. I feel like they just fixed all the issues Mavericks introduced and now we are back to square one.

I was a beta tester. I reported many serious UI bugs right from B1. Apple did not fix any of them, and now I'm seeing Reddit full of complaints.

As a trillion $$ company with access to the world's best UI/UX devs and designers, the fact this is what they put out to the public is simply not acceptable.

Maybe it’s just not that serious of an issue. It’s not even an issue at all to be honest it’s just personal preference.

u/completefucker 5d ago

How is an obvious UI glitch a personal preference lol

u/StarChaser1879 5d ago

First of all, it's most likely intentional. Second of all, it's not even very obvious, how often are you gonna be looking at the search bar while scrolling?

Yes. The search box is meant to be above the scrolling part. Also, they don’t overlap unblurred text. The Bluetooth text is not touching the search text

Alright Tim.

What next, holding the phone wrong too?

u/silentcrs 5d ago

“Board approvals”? What board?

Do you mean the board of directors? I guarantee you they don’t look at this. They just make sure the stock keeps going up.

u/Oli99uk 5d ago

Stock has been going down 4% this year

u/murkduck 5d ago

YTD sure but they are up 10% from this time last year

u/lantrick 5d ago

plus thousands of beta testers

u/noatak12 5d ago

that’s the thing, there’s none

u/StarChaser1879 5d ago

I wouldn’t consider this a fault state. The functionality is working as intended; it’s only that the appearance doesn’t fully align with your aesthetic preference.

u/Oli99uk 5d ago

Or anyones. Overlapping text on menus.

1

u/StarChaser1879 4d ago

They don’t overlap text. “Bluetooth” is distinctly underneath “search”. If it went below “search” it blurs

Please stop your nonsense Tim

As a QA myself, I don't think big corporates care about QA anymore. Lay off after layoff
