• To improve smartphone hardware

What is the challenge of device fragmentation in mobile application testing?

• Ensuring compatibility and consistency across different OS versions

• Testing for security vulnerabilities and ensuring compliance with privacy regulations

• Testing the application's performance and reliability under different network conditions

• The wide variety of mobile devices, screen sizes, resolutions, operating systems, and hardware configurations

What is the difference between an emulator and a simulator?

• An emulator represents the hardware, while a simulator represents the software

• An emulator is a partial re-implementation of the operating system, while a simulator is a complete re-implementation of the mobile software

• An emulator delivers a replica of a phone’s user interface, while a simulator emulates the device hardware

• An emulator emulates the device hardware, while a simulator delivers a replica of a phone’s user interface

What is a real device in the context of mobile application testing?

• The actual hardware on which the software will run in production

• A partial re-implementation of the operating system written in a high-level language

• A complete re-implementation of the mobile software written in a machine level assembly language

• A replica of a phone’s user interface

What is hardware testing in the context of mobile application testing?

• Testing for security vulnerabilities and ensuring compliance with privacy regulations

• Testing the application's performance and reliability under different network conditions

• Testing the internal processors, resolution, internal hardware, size of the screen, radio, space, camera, Bluetooth or WIFI, etc.

• Testing the functionality of applications that work on mobile devices

What are native applications in the context of mobile applications?

• Apps that offer offline functionality

• Web apps that have an application wrapper designed to be independent of iOS or Android

• Apps that work with mobile native browsers

• Apps that run on iOS or Android

What are mobile web apps?

• Apps that work with mobile native browsers

• Apps that offer offline functionality

• Apps that run on iOS or Android
