Question 1
Q1You are defining the device selection strategy for a new e-commerce application targeting the European market. The marketing team has provided analytics data indicating the following user distribution: 45% Android (mostly versions 12-14), 50% iOS (mostly latest 2 versions), and 5% legacy/other. The budget allows for a limited number of physical test devices. Based on the ISTQB Mobile Application Testing syllabus, which approach represents the MOST effective risk-based device selection strategy?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
According to the syllabus, device selection should be data-driven based on the specific target audience (European market data in this case). Prioritizing the top devices that cover a significant majority (e.g., 80%) maximizes risk mitigation within budget, while cloud services cost-effectively handle the fragmented remainder (the long tail).
