comment Fundamental Requirements For an Entry Level QA Engineer
As a tester, nothing irritates me more than people that think QA is a stepping stone to development. Why this advice persists confuses me.

comment Why run unit tests on mobile devices?
I am an expert, and your reasons are good guesses. Performance is so divergent (for iOS, the simulator is faster; for Android, the emulator is much slower) as to be useless for insight into real-world scenarios. We get tons of spurious "failures" that are, in reality, induced by the very slow nature of the emulator; on iOS, we would see "failures" of things to exist that didn't happen on device. Furthermore, your theory on hardware not existing is mostly correct; you can fake some of it, but if you're running 90% of your tests on device, getting the last 10% over is usually worthwhile.
