   A team is testing a mobile app that is used by emergency responders. The app must work reliably in areas with poor network coverage and on a variety of rugged devices. The team has a tight budget and must choose between extensive real-device testing and automated testing on emulators. What is the best approach to balance risk and cost?

   • AUse emulators for functional testing and real devices for network and hardware-specific tests.
   • BUse only emulators, as they can simulate network conditions and hardware accurately.
   • CUse only real devices for all testing, as emulators are unreliable.
   • DSkip testing on network variability, as the app is designed for emergency use.
