What is the purpose of certification and regulatory testing for a mobile app?

To evaluate the app's usability on different devices

To measure the app's performance under heavy load

To check the app's behavior when interrupted by calls

To ensure the app complies with relevant standards and regulations

A productivity app supports both phones and foldable devices. On foldables, the app can display two panes side-by-side. The team has limited test devices and must decide how to test compatibility without buying every foldable model. Which strategy is most effective?

Use only emulators for all foldable configurations to avoid hardware costs.

Test on one physical foldable device and use emulators for other foldable screen configurations.

Test on the most expensive foldable device and assume other models behave the same.

Test only on a standard phone to ensure the app works in the basic mode.

A payment app must comply with PCI DSS, which requires that cardholder data be protected both in transit and at rest. The app also uses a third-party SDK for analytics that may collect device identifiers. The team needs to verify that the app does not inadvertently transmit cardholder data to the analytics SDK. Which testing approach is most effective?

Test the app on a device without the analytics SDK installed to see if payment works.

Review the analytics SDK's documentation to see if it claims to collect cardholder data.

Perform a static code review of the app's source code to trace data flows from the payment module to the analytics SDK.

Use a network proxy to intercept and inspect all outbound traffic while performing a payment transaction, looking for cardholder data sent to the analytics SDK's endpoints.
