BCS ASTQB Exam - Topic 3 Question 28 Discussion

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?
B) Find or develop an emulator that can emulate the application running on the hardware and OS of the device
A) Find or develop a simulator that can simulate the network interaction of many devices
C) Implement crowd-source testing to get a large number of people to use their own devices to test the network
D) Obtain the real devices because any other testing will not be representative of the real behavior of the device

[All ASTQB Questions]

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?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

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.

I think we should just get the real devices to be sure!

Emulators are great too, but they might miss hardware quirks.

But can a simulator really replicate real-world issues?

Totally agree, we need to test the network load!

A simulator would be the most cost-effective option.

I'm a little unsure about this one. The question mentions the ER, which is usually primary care, but then a specialist was involved, which seems more like secondary care. I'll have to think it through carefully.

I've got a good strategy for this - I'll eliminate the options that don't seem relevant, then focus on the remaining ones to determine the 3 correct answers.

Option B looks promising with the SSO configuration, but I'm not sure if that's the only step required. I'll need to double-check the details.

I'm a little confused by the wording on some of these options. What's the difference between active-active and active-passive replication? I'll need to review that before deciding which one to go with.
