A weather app uses GPS to provide local forecasts. During testing, the user disables location services. The app shows a generic forecast instead of the local one. What should the app do?

Use the last known location indefinitely.

Show an error message and close the app.

Automatically enable location services without user consent.

Show a message explaining that location services are disabled and ask the user to enable them.

When connectivity returns after an offline period, what should a tester verify about data synchronization?

Offline changes are discarded to avoid conflicts.

The app requires the user to manually export offline data.

All offline changes are synced to the server without data loss or conflict.

The app only syncs data when the user opens the app again.

A field-service app lets technicians upload photos of completed work. During a test session, a technician walks from a strong Wi-Fi zone into a dead zone, then back. The app shows a 'Upload failed' toast and the photos are lost. Which test should you prioritize to improve the app's behavior?

Verify that uploads are queued and retried automatically when connectivity returns.

Verify that the app switches to cellular data automatically when Wi-Fi is lost.

Verify that the app compresses photos before upload to reduce data usage.

Verify that the app shows a warning before the technician leaves the Wi-Fi zone.
