Which of the following is NOT a common technique for optimizing mobile app performance?

  1. Reducing the size of the app's binary

  2. Using a CDN to deliver static content

  3. Enabling ProGuard to optimize the app's code

  4. Increasing the number of threads used by the app


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Increasing the number of threads used by the app can actually decrease performance on mobile devices, as it can lead to contention for resources.

Which tool is commonly used to analyze the performance of Android apps?

  1. Xcode

  2. Android Profiler

  3. Instruments

  4. adb logcat


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Android Profiler is a tool included in the Android SDK that allows developers to analyze the performance of their apps by collecting data on CPU usage, memory usage, and network traffic.

What is the primary benefit of using a CDN to deliver static content in a mobile app?

  1. Improved security

  2. Reduced latency

  3. Increased bandwidth

  4. Enhanced reliability


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Using a CDN to deliver static content can reduce latency by serving content from servers that are geographically closer to users.

Which of the following is NOT a best practice for optimizing the performance of a mobile app's user interface?

  1. Using a consistent and intuitive design

  2. Minimizing the use of animations and transitions

  3. Avoiding the use of high-resolution images

  4. Prefetching data that is likely to be needed


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Animations and transitions can add visual appeal to a mobile app, but they can also impact performance, especially on older devices.

What is the purpose of ProGuard in the context of mobile app development?

  1. To obfuscate the app's code

  2. To optimize the app's code

  3. To detect security vulnerabilities in the app

  4. To generate a manifest file for the app


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

ProGuard is a tool that optimizes Android apps by removing unused code and resources, and by obfuscating the app's code to make it more difficult to reverse engineer.

Which of the following is NOT a common cause of performance issues in mobile apps?

  1. Memory leaks

  2. Network latency

  3. Excessive use of logging

  4. Insufficient RAM


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Insufficient RAM is not typically a cause of performance issues in mobile apps, as most modern mobile devices have sufficient RAM to run apps smoothly.

What is the primary benefit of using a profiler to analyze the performance of a mobile app?

  1. It can identify performance bottlenecks in the app

  2. It can generate a report on the app's memory usage

  3. It can detect security vulnerabilities in the app

  4. It can optimize the app's code


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Profilers are tools that allow developers to identify performance bottlenecks in their apps by collecting data on CPU usage, memory usage, and network traffic.

Which of the following is NOT a best practice for optimizing the performance of a mobile app's network requests?

  1. Using a CDN to deliver static content

  2. Batching network requests together

  3. Using a long timeout for network requests

  4. Compressing network requests and responses


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Using a long timeout for network requests can lead to poor performance, as the app will wait for a long time before timing out the request.

What is the purpose of using a memory profiler to analyze the performance of a mobile app?

  1. To identify memory leaks in the app

  2. To generate a report on the app's CPU usage

  3. To detect security vulnerabilities in the app

  4. To optimize the app's code


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Memory profilers are tools that allow developers to identify memory leaks in their apps by tracking the allocation and deallocation of memory.

Which of the following is NOT a common technique for reducing the size of a mobile app's binary?

  1. Using a minifier to reduce the size of the app's JavaScript code

  2. Using a compressor to reduce the size of the app's images

  3. Using a linker to remove unused code from the app

  4. Using a preprocessor to remove comments from the app's code


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Using a preprocessor to remove comments from the app's code does not typically reduce the size of the app's binary, as comments are ignored by the compiler.

What is the primary benefit of using a CDN to deliver static content in a mobile app?

  1. Improved security

  2. Reduced latency

  3. Increased bandwidth

  4. Enhanced reliability


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Using a CDN to deliver static content can reduce latency by serving content from servers that are geographically closer to users.
