We have designed our internal testing procedure to divide platforms into three test categories (Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3) in order to prioritize internal testing and development resources so that the most frequently used platforms are subjected to our most rigorous testing processes. Qt is supported on a variety of 32-bit and 64-bit platforms, and can usually be built on each platform with GCC, a vendor-supplied compiler, or a third party compiler. Although Qt may be built on a range of platform-compiler combinations, only a subset of these are actively supported by Nokia. \tableofcontents Information about the specific platforms Qt runs on, and the compilers used on each platform, can be found on the \l{Platform and Compiler Notes} page. \section1 Tier 1 Platforms All Tier 1 platforms are subjected to our unit test suite and other internal testing tools on a frequent basis (prior to new version releases, source tree branching, and at other significant period points in the development process). Errors or bugs discovered in these platforms are prioritized for correction by the development team. Significant errors discovered in Tier 1 platforms can impact release dates and Qt Development Frameworks strives to resolve all known high priority errors in Tier 1 platforms prior to new version releases. \table \header \o Platform \o Compilers \row \o Linux (32 and 64-bit) \o gcc 4.2 \row \o Microsoft Windows XP \o gcc 4.4 (MinGW) (32-bit), MSVC 2005 (32 and 64-bit) \row \o Microsoft Windows Vista \o MSVC 2005, 2008 \row \o Microsoft Windows Vista 64bit \o MSVC 2008 \row \o Microsoft Windows 7 \o MSVC 2008 \row \o Apple Mac OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard" \o As provided by Apple \row \o Apple Mac OS X 10.5 "Leopard" x86_64 (Cocoa 32 and 64bit) \o As provided by Apple \row \o Embedded Linux QWS (ARM) \o gcc (\l{http://www.codesourcery.com/}{Codesourcery version)} \row \o Windows CE 5.0 (ARMv4i, x86, MIPS) \o MSVC 2005 WinCE 5.0 Standard (x86, pocket, smart, mipsii) \row \o Maemo 5(Linux, ARM, X11) \o gcc (\l{http://www.scratchbox.org/}{Scratchbox)} \row \o MeeGo (Linux, ARM, X11) \o gcc (\l{http://www.scratchbox.org/}{Scratchbox)} \row \o Symbian (Symbian/S60 5.0) \o RVCT 2.2 [build 686 or later], WINSCW 3.2.5 [build 482 or later], GCCE (for applications) \endtable \section1 Tier 2 Platforms Tier 2 platforms are subject to ad hoc and internal testing.
