B)Banking and finance app
C)Photo editing app

Jamie should launch an M-commerce app as it is specifically designed for e-commerce purposes, allowing customers to purchase products directly through the app. This will facilitate an easy and convenient shopping experience, potentially increasing sales and reach.

Question 6

Andrew's company uses a special email program for communicating within the organization. What should the company do to ensure that its employees are able to access the inbox even when they are away from office?
A)Have a mobile app developed.
B)Use a generic e-mail software like Gmail.
C)Make the program available as a web app.
D)Design a new e-mail program.

Accepted Answer

Making the program available as a web app would allow employees to access the inbox from any device with internet access, regardless of whether or not they have the company email program installed on their device. This is a more practical and cost-effective solution than developing a mobile app or designing a new email program from scratch. Using a generic email software like Gmail would not allow the company to maintain control over its internal communications and would create potential security risks.

B)JPEG
C)DOC

Accepted Answer

JPEG files are the most suitable for web use as they have a smaller file size compared to TIFF and GIF files, and they maintain high-quality images.

Question 14

Shania has started a new job as an app developer. Her first task was to make an old app designed for Android available on other platforms. Which of the following would make her job easiest and fastest?
A)Develop different versions of the same app for different programs.
B)Use cross-platform tools to write code that will translate the existing Android app code into different native formats.
C)Feed the existing code into cross-platform tools to develop different versions of the same app.
D)Use the same set of codes for different platforms.

Accepted Answer

Using cross-platform tools to write code that can automatically translate the existing Android app code into different native formats will make Shania's job easiest and fastest. This allows her to reuse much of the existing code while still providing access to the app on multiple platforms. Option A would require Shania to develop different versions of the same app from scratch, which would be time-consuming and inefficient. Option C suggests feeding the existing code into cross-platform tools to develop different versions, which is essentially the same as option B. Option D is unclear and does not provide enough detail.

B)It should be be part of a productivity suite so users can multitask.
C)It should have responsive design so that it is easy to use on mobile devices.
D)It should be a portable app so that it is quick to use.

An organization has its employees working from home. Which type of software most likely includes collaboration features to help the employees work together online?
A)Local apps
B)Web apps
