[All ASTQB Questions]

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

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

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.

Ah, this is a good one. Simulators are great because you can easily test a wide range of configurations and get user feedback, without needing to have tons of physical devices on hand. I think I know the right answer here.
