What types of testing are particularly important for mobile applications based on the user’s expectations?

If an application resides on the mobile device and was written specifically for that device, what type of application is it?

You are testing an application for a smart phone. You have determined that you only need to test one device from the target family of devices because the behavior of all devices in that family will be the same for this application. This is an example of what test design technique?

If you are testing a mobile application that is not safety-critical, which lifecycle model is most likely to be used?

Which of the following types of testing might consider the user’s age?

If your application can only be used within a specific country, what feature of the device might be used to supply information that the application can use to make this determination?

What is the primary use of teststorming?

You have information from production that the previous version of your product has had a high rate of abandonment after the initial download. In fact, it appears people download the application and never use it. Poor performance is thought to be the main problem that is causing people to give up the application. Which of the following aspects of the application should be specifically targeted for testing to help determine if this is really the problem?

Your company has created an application for doing crossword puzzles. The target users are in the age class of over 65 years old. There has already been considerable concentration on creating screens that are easy to navigate and intuitive. It is a primary goal that the software be easy to use. Viewability has been implemented with a revolutionary magnification ability based on moving a magnifying glass across the screen. The beta testers have still had problems using the application, particularly when trying to enter the letters into the squares. Given this information, which area should you target for more complete testing?

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?

If you are testing how much battery is being used by your application, what are you testing?

You have been doing your mobile application performance testing on a simulator. Why would you need to do some testing on a real device?

Which of the following is a requirement for portability testing for the future of a mobile application?

For a navigation application on a smart phone, which is the most importance device capability?

If a tool is able to simulate the way in which a specific device would respond to an application, it is considered to be what type of simulator?

Which of the following is a generic tool that would be useful for a mobile application testing project?

In what way might a mobile device itself supply data to the mobile application?

Which of the following is true about a browser-based application?

Which of the following is a reason to use simulators for testing?

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?

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 Years Eve 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?

You have a need to test network connectivity in a variety of environments to determine if your web site will respond fast enough and reliably enough to the requests from your mobile web-based application. You don’t have the ability to create these environments within your test facilities. What is the best option to use to conduct this testing?

What is the best way to verify that a simulator is giving reliable results?

Which cloud capability is most beneficial for performance testing?

Which of the following is a type of data that a mobile performance testing tool should be able to monitor, track and generate?

You are testing an application that will allow users to scan the barcode 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?

This is the second version of this application. The first version was web browser-based and was quite slow to start up. The new version is a native application with all the same functionality. It is expected that this application will have wide usage across a large set of networks with varying speeds and reliability.
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 devices, environments and networks?

In the future, what is the expectation for device capabilities?

What will the future user expect in terms of application performance?

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

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 lifecycle is iterative and the team uses continuous integration to provide testable software faster. Given this information, what should you recommended for the test approach?

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

What type of testing methodologies should mobile applications testers seek?
