> I don't have to spend time setting up a PPC virtual machine with a development environment in it Neither the compiler nor the emulator are perfect. Somebody has to test and debug your packaged app on actual PPC hardware. |

Our Xcode-supported unit tests transparently run three times -- once for x86_32, once for x86_64, and once for PPC. The PPC run occurs within Rosetta (ie, emulated).
If the tests pass, we can be reasonably sure everything is A-OK. In addition, we can do local regression testing under Rosetta (but it's rarely necessary -- usually everything just works).
The only native PPC testing we do is integration testing once we reach the end of the development cycle.
