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.

Selenium is widely used. Do you have more information about this app? Is it Flash, straight HTML, JavaScript?

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.
