    As a software engineer, this is fascinating! I literally gasped when you found the unit tests. That's the kind of nonsense I write all day!

      @Ambroos Рік тому

      ​@@TheBluePhoenix008 Unit tests are bits of code to test other code. If you are writing a function of code that is supposed to tell you if a number is even, and error if you give it something that is not a number at all, if your function would be something like "function isEven(input): boolean", the unit tests could look something like this:
      assertTrue(isEven(0))
      assertTrue(isEven(2))
      assertTrue(isEven(111485577108))
      assertTrue(isEven(-2))
      assertTrue(isEven(-0))
      assertFalse(isEven(1))
      assertFalse(isEven(-1))
      assertFalse(isEven(99999999))
      assertErrors(isEven("spaghetti"))
      assertErrors(isEven(cat))
      You run through a bunch of possible test cases. In case someone later modifies the contents of isEven, the test cases will let you know if anything breaks unexpectedly. Real unit tests will usually test more complex functionality than this.

    • @BFedie518
      @BFedie518 9 місяців тому

      ​@@TheBluePhoenix008A unit test is a piece of code that tests exactly one thing in your program.
      Example:
      If you have a function that's supposed to add two numbers together, you could write a test that runs the function and checks if the result is correct.
      That particular example is simple to the point of uselessness, but as a program grows more complex you want to be able to quickly see that all of the individual pieces are still working. You would write a bunch of tests and run them all whenever you make a change to make sure
      a. Your change works
      b. You didn't break anything that was previously working
      You could also write the tests before you actually write the program. That's called "test-driven development." You know exactly when your code is working because it'll pass the test. It gives a specific goal to work towards.

      @@TheBluePhoenix008 It's code that basically runs the normal code and checks it against a bunch of expectations. If I have a function that doubles a number it's given, I can have a test that runs it a few times with a bunch of numbers and checks the function outputs the right answer each time. It makes sure the code works as expected, and means that if something breaks that function down the line then you'll know as soon as the tests run

    I remember a story I heard, where Steve Jobs was handed an early prototype of the original iPod by two of his engineers, and it was apparently a bit large and clunky, but the engineers swore to Steve that this was as small as they could get it, Steve said nothing, walked to a nearby fish tank, prototype in hand, and dropped it in. When bubbles started coming out of it Steve only said "See that? That's empty space. Make it smaller"

    Unit tests are pieces of code that test functions/pieces of code that will be in the final software. Once the function is written, a test can be written and if the test succeeds and fails when it needs to, you can rely on it from then on. You can then make performance/resource improvements to functions and run the unit tests that will tell you if any as well as which functions got messed up and no longer have the intended behavior.

    funfact about the 1969 crash at 7:52 a lot of electronics use to base their clock time off of the "epoch" which was january 1st 1970. and if you set your clock date and time to before 1970 it would crash your device potentially bricking it because it would be stuck with an invalid time and error out.

    The 1969 crash is probably to do with the fact that all devices measure time with seconds since 1st January 1970 (it's called Unix time) and there used to be a very prolific bug with the iPhones where you could push the date and time before then which would loop it back to like the year 100M. And the phone just didn't know what to do and would crash

    Hey! I know a thing or two about iOS. That means I can attempt to infer what most of the demos are:
    - CoreMotionTest - its purpose is obvious. The name comes from the CoreMotion framework.
    - CooLTool - it looks like this is about location positioning/triangulation for each antenna, given the icon and the “latlong” in the detail for each header.
    - IAPViewer - In-App Purchase viewer. The red text at the top right refers to the in-app purchase daemon, iapd. Doesn’t look like there’s a way to add anything, so maybe it’s just a list of all IAPs or a log viewer?
    - FigCam - “fig” appears to refer to the front-facing/back-facing combo setup. Hopefully I’m remembering that right. Basically, early version of the iPhone 4 camera app.
    - FlyTrap - not entirely sure, but given the name and the Quick Bug tab (which has a cell with the title “Localization Issues”), I’m guessing it tests for common code oversights by automating scenarios
    - GameKitTester - you’re right: GameKit is the underlying framework for Game Center.
    - CompareTable... - I seriously have no idea. Unless it’s short for CompareTableViews, in which case it might be for testing table view data source sorting? I have no idea
    - KeyRecorder: I have only the name to go on, but maaaaaaybe it’s for hardware keyboard testing?
    - KeyboardTester - almost certainly for hardware keyboard testing
    - Magneto - magnetometer tester
    - MemoryMunch - uses up memory at a steady rate, probably to test if apps handle limited resources correctly
    - Onword - GameKit demo app
    - Radar - bug tracker used by Apple
    - SwitchBoard - *should* boot into SwitchBoard, lol
    - Tanks - multiplayer matchmaking GameKit demo
    - Touch Fighter - gyro and GameKit demo
    SwitchBoard is a barebones OS meant for *hardware* testing :)
