I am working with a group that needs to purchase at least one mac and use it to run Safari 7.0.6 (not newer or older) for webpage testing. Is it possible to downgrade a new OSX Yesemite machine to run Safari 7.0.6 or would I need to start with Mavericks?
I think these guides will help you get started.
Also, make sure you test the site in Firefox and Chrome as well.

Thanks for the information. To meet our requirements we still may need to actually run the old version of Safari instead of just changing the reported browser string as the developer tools you lined to do. That said, it looks like we can back up to 10.9 in order to run the older version of Safari.
If you downgrade OS to 10.9, then it will be Mavericks + Safari 7.0 combination, isn't it?
I need to know if Yosemite 10.10 + Safari 7.0 combination is supported
Yes, safari 7 agent is available in Yosemite. (Will post photo later)
Might want to look at updating the site to run newer versions of web browsers.
Chattphotos,
We dont want modify 'User Agent' option.
I want to install Safari 7.0 in Yosemite 10.10. Can it be done or not?
Yes. Safari 7.0.6 will run on 10.10.3. However, you'll have to find a copy of it and get it onto the new Mac. If you have a Time Machine backup of a Mac that had 7.0.6 on it at one time you might be able to restore it and copy to the new Mac. Or copy it from another Mac that is running it currently.
It may be possible run the application on 10.10.3, but I don't think it will be the 'Safari 7.0.6' that jarooda needs because Safari is a wrapper, its guts are in the OS provided WebKit frameworks.
For compliance testing, which I am assuming is jarooda's motivation, it may be possible find an suitable version of the WebKit browser:

but if the specification says 'Safari 7.0.6' then I think that the only way to be sure is to be running OS X 10.9.4 (from memory) with Safari 7.0.6. Virtualisation is a very useful tool in such circumstances.

Install Safari 7.0.6 on OSX Yosemite
