Q1: Why do you test on these host types and not my favourite host type?
A1: We test on the systems available to us.
Q2: Why do you test on several outdated processors?
A2: See A1. Testing on a broad range of systems improves portability and broadens the code coverage of the tests.
Q3: There are open "test drives" where you could get access to more system types. Why don't you take advantage of that?
A3: While providing free access seems nice of the hardware manufacturers, our experience is that it is a lot of work for us to run tests in these environments. Also, we actually read the fine print of the usage agreements, and their terms are often totally unacceptable ("all your code belongs to us").
