BCS ASTQB Exam - Topic 6 Question 41 Discussion

You have been doing your mobile application performance testing on a simulator. Why would you need to do some testing on a real device?
A) Because a simulator is not an exact replica of the real device and may give different performance results.
B) Because it is not possible to thoroughly test a simulator to ensure it is working correctly.
C) Because simulators cannot be cloned to provide enough devices to generate a realistic load
D) Because simulators cannot run concurrent applications

Actual exam question for BCS's ASTQB exam

[All ASTQB Questions]

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

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

A is correct. A simulator is not a real device and doesn't have the hardware and connectivity characteristics that the real device has. B is not correct because you can thoroughly test a simulator, but that still won't get around the problem in A. C is not correct because this is precisely why simulators are used -- they are easily cloned. D is not correct because simulators can certainly run concurrent applications

Simulators can’t mimic all the hardware differences.

I vaguely recall something about simulators not handling multiple apps well, so option D might be a valid point too.

I feel like I've seen practice questions about load testing, and I think option C is relevant since real devices can handle more realistic scenarios.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think option B could be misleading. Simulators can be tested, right?

I remember reading that simulators might not accurately reflect how an app performs on actual hardware, so I think option A makes sense.

I'm a bit confused here. If the progress bar is supposed to show the download progress, wouldn't increasing the rate that much make it finish almost instantly? That doesn't seem right.

This seems pretty straightforward. I'd go with option A and create a bundle in the Product Bundles module.
