[All ASTQB Questions]

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

AA Simulator

BAn emulator

CA defect tracking system

DA performance testing tool

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

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.

I practiced a question similar to this, and I think a defect tracking system is essential, but it might not be considered a generic tool for testing specifically.

I feel like emulators are more commonly referenced in practice questions, but I can't recall if they fit the definition of a generic tool.

I think I remember that simulators are often used for mobile app testing, but I'm not entirely sure if they qualify as a "generic tool."
