Abstract

Apple is on an annual release cycle for operating systems. Apple now has a new point release in beta at all times. There’s also a new version of Firefox released every 18 minutes (or what seems like 18 minutes). This means that the next thing is always around the corner. To compound problems, rather than push updates to computers and iOS devices, updates are now automatic, which means new ways to validate when updates were run can be required. With a major OS release and three or more point releases per year, it’s time to get a solid plan for how to always be testing together, if you haven’t already.
