ASTQB Certified Mobile Tester

The American Software Testing Qualifications Board (ASTQB) has signed an agreement with BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT for BCS to be an exam provider for the ASTQB Certified Mobile Tester certification.

The mobile certification was created by ASTQB in 2015 for software testers working with mobile devices and mobile apps. ASTQB Certified Mobile Tester certification was created by a group of leading international experts using the latest mobile testing standards.

Debbie Friedenberg, ASTQB President, remarked, “It is great to be working with BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT, to deliver our certification. The volume of mobile development has grown so fast that mobile is now the most-used digital platform. Specific testing skills are integral to successful mobile testing and this certification provides an ideal platform of knowledge and skills for software testers working in this area.”

QUESTION: 1
What types of testing are particularly important for mobile applications based on the user’s
expectations?

A. Suitability and Accuracy
B. Usability and Performance
C. Portability and Usability
D. Performance and Security

Answer: B

Explanation:
While all of these are important, the user has particularly high expectations for the usability and
performance of a mobile application.

QUESTION: 2
If an application resides on the mobile device and was written specifically for that device, what type
of application is it?

A. Web-based
B. Hybrid
C. Native
D. Device-specific

Answer: C

Explanation:
An application that resides on the mobile device rather than on a web server and is written to work
with a specific device is a native application.

QUESTION: 3
You are testing an application for a smart phone. You have determined that you only need to test one
device from the target family of devices because the behavior of all devices in that family will be the
same for this application.
This is an example of what test design technique?

A. Boundary value analysis
B. Combinatorial
C. Decision tables
D. Equivalence Partitioning

Answer: D

Explanation:
This is an example of EP where all the members of the class are expected to behave in the same
manner, therefore only one member of the class needs to be tested. Combinatorial technique is not
the correct answer because that would be looking to reduce the set of test devices based on creating
combinations to test.

QUESTION: 4
If you are testing a mobile application that is not safety-critical, which life cycle model is most likely
to be used?

A. V-model
B. Waterfall
C. Mobile
D. Iterative

Answer: D

Explanation:
Agile, a form of iterative lifecycle models, is often used for developing mobile applications as are
other iterative lifecycles. Waterfall and V-model would be used for safety-critical where more
documentation and control is required. The “mobile model” doesn’t yet exist but may in the future!
