You are planning to conduct performance testing on a new application. You have been given a set of personas to use during this testing.How should you apply the personas in the performance testing approach?

Personas should be duplicated by the automated tools to create virtual users who can create a realistic load on the system.

Personas should be reviewed to understand the individual tasks being performed.

Personas are used primarily for usability testing and should not be used as guidelines for performance testing.

Personas should be used to derive use cases which can be broken down into user stories and then scripted into performance test scripts.

You have just been assigned to test a native mobile application for a delivery recording device used by mail and package couriers. This is a new version of a product that is already in production. The production version of the product has had issues with the hardware particularly with capturing signatures entered on the device and with associating photo images to the proper delivery addresses. This has resulted in a problem with reconciling the package delivery information. You need to test the application on a network with 1000 of these devices sending information back to the main office. Budget is limited as is the ability to obtain 1000 devices.What should you do?

Find or develop an emulator that can emulate the application running on the hardware and OS of the device

Find or develop a simulator that can simulate the network interaction of many devices

Find or develop an emulator that can emulate the application running on the hardware and OS of the device

Implement crowd-source testing to get a large number of people to use their own devices to test the network

Obtain the real devices because any other testing will not be representative of the real behavior of the device

You are responsible for performance testing for a new hybrid mobile application that will run on smartphones. The application will use the phone's GPS capability to determine the altitude of the phone. This information will be used to send information to the user indicating the change in their "safe limit" for alcohol consumption. You expect your highest usage of the system to be on New YearsEve when many people are skiing at high altitudes and will need to check their safe limit. For the first year of usage, 5,000 concurrent users are expected to use the application on that one evening.Given this information, what is the best approach to use for conducting the performance test?

Clone simulators to create 5000 users and conduct the test with those simulators

You are testing an application that will allow users to scan the bar code from a package mailing label and then receive emails from the package shipper as the package moves through the various stages of its delivery (e.g., pickup, receipt at central processing, routing, delivery). If requested, the user can also receive a picture of the signature of the recipient of the package. This is a web browser-based application. It is expected that this application will have wide usage across a large set of devices and networks with varying speeds and reliability.Your company has several competitors who are working on similar products although your company's product has some new innovations and a very attractive user interface. As a result, once it is released, your company expects to grab that majority market share.Given this information, what would be the best approach for doing your testing to ensure the capabilities of the product are tested as well as the range of environments and networks?

When building a flexible testing framework, how does the short product life cycle affect the test approach and tool decisions?

The framework must provide a good ROI

The framework must support long0term maintainability

The framework should utilize stable and reliable tools known vendors

The framework must provide a good ROI

The framework should leverage a formal risk analysis

Your organization has just hired a test automation architect who has previously worked on medical software with strict regulatory requirements. His test automation framework is very solid and will allow the staff to build maintainable data-driven test cases. His tool choice is the top of the line tool that has been used for many years for traditional test automation. You are concerned that this is a very expensive tool and may not have the flexibility needed in your environment, particularly since the mobile applications your company develops are intended to exist in the market for only six months before being re-worked to add new features and change the user interface. The software development life cycle is iterative and the team uses continuous integration to provide testable software faster.Given this information, what should you recommended for the test approach?

Search for other tools that are more suited for the mobile environment and consider creating test automation with keyword-driven tests rather than data-driven.

Go with the proven framework and seek high coverage in the test automation software to ensure good reuse.

Bypass test automation and go with crowd-sourcing to get a high amount of testing done in a short period of time. test repeatability is not an issue with this software.

Use test automation for performance testing and conduct the functional testing manually since the product has a short life expectancy.

As life cycle models adapt to meet the needs of the mobile application market, how will the interaction between the developers and testers change?

Collaboration between developers and testers will increase

The interaction will become more formal

Detailed requirements documentation will replace stand up meetings

Developers and testers will return to more traditional, separate roles

Collaboration between developers and testers will increase
