A mobile testing team wants to automate UI tests and run them on a variety of Android devices with different screen sizes and OS versions. They have a limited number of physical devices. Which strategy would best maximize device coverage while minimizing maintenance effort?

Use a single physical device and rely on responsive design.

Create multiple emulators with different configurations on a local machine.

Use a cloud device farm that supports automated test execution.

Purchase a few physical devices and test manually.

A mobile app team is experiencing reports of slow startup times and frequent crashes on certain devices. They want to identify the root cause by collecting performance metrics and crash logs from real user devices. Which combination of tools should they implement?

A crash reporting tool like Crashlytics and a performance monitoring tool like Firebase Performance Monitoring.

An analytics tool like Google Analytics and a build tool like Gradle.

A device farm and a test automation framework.

An IDE profiler and a version control system.

What is the primary role of an IDE in mobile app testing?

To execute tests on real devices in the cloud

To monitor app performance in production

To manage test case execution and reporting

To provide a development environment where test code can be written and debugged

A development team is using a continuous integration (CI) pipeline to build and test a mobile app. They need to ensure that every commit triggers an automated build and runs the test suite. Which set of tools should they integrate into their CI pipeline?

A version control system like Git and a build tool like Gradle or Xcodebuild.

A device farm and a performance monitoring tool.

An IDE with built-in build and test features.

A CI server like Jenkins or GitHub Actions, along with a build tool and a test automation framework.
