ISTQB ASTQB Practice Test - Questions Answers, Page 3

B is correct. The other three are referring to application types rather than devices.

C is correct. This is a generic testing tool that would still be useful in a mobile application project. A and B are specific tools that would be designed for use for the specific project. D might work but most generic performance testing tools don't work well for mobile applications because of their inability to work with simulators and provide the variability in network connections.

A is correct since this information is coming from the device itself. B, C, and D all get the information from a source other than the device.

C is correct. Since the application is running through the browser, if devices supports that browser it should work on the device. This makes the application very portable. A and B are characteristics of native applications. D is incorrect because native applications are generally faster.

B is correct. A is incorrect because real devices will always be more accurate. C is incorrect because usability requires the look and feel of the real device. D is not true on a large scale and may not even be true on a small scale. A well-designed simulator should be easier to re-configure as needed.

Given this scenario, B is the correct answer. An emulator will allow testing to be conducted to verify the interaction between the hardware/OS and the application and that's where the main problems have been. A is not correct because a simulator will not be able to simulate the interaction between the application and the hardware and that is identified as a key issue with the current production product. C is not correct because this is not a device that most people would have access to – it's a business device rather than a personal device. D is not correct because a good emulator should be able to provide the needed test environment. And, the question states that budget is limited and devices are hard to get.

A is correct. Simulators are the best approach for this testing because a large number are needed and specific altitude readings can be programmed into the simulator. B is not correct because there is no need to interact with the phone's hardware to do this test. The altitude information can be programmed into the simulator. C is not correct because that would just complicate the tests and simulators alone will be sufficient. D would be difficult to manage and getting 5000 concurrent users before New Years Eve might be impossible.

C is correct. Cloud-based network simulators are commonly used for this purpose. A and B are not ideally suited for the problem and D would be too unreliable to control.

C is the best way to verify the reliability of the simulator. A as we all know may not tell us how the simulator really works. B would require knowing how the simulator should behave, which might be information we don't have. D would not make sense as you'd be comparing information from two different developed products.
