   A small team releases a mobile app update every two weeks. They have a limited number of physical devices and a manual regression test suite that takes three days to execute. The team is struggling to complete testing before each release. Which strategy would most effectively reduce the testing time while maintaining coverage?

   • AHire more manual testers to run the existing test suite faster.
   • BReduce the number of test cases to only the most critical paths.
   • CSkip regression testing for minor updates and only test new features.
   • DAutomate the regression tests and run them on a cloud device farm overnight.

   A team is developing a mobile banking app that must work reliably for users who frequently switch between Wi-Fi and cellular networks. The app has a feature that uploads transaction receipts. During testing, the team notices that uploads fail silently when the network drops. What is the most effective way to test and improve this behavior?

   • AIncrease the upload timeout to 60 seconds to avoid failures during brief network drops.
   • BDisable the upload feature when the network is unstable to prevent failures.
   • CSimulate network changes and interruptions during upload tests, and verify that the app retries or queues the upload.
   • DTest only on a stable Wi-Fi connection to ensure the upload feature works correctly.
