| In terms of geographic scale, how should state-specific regulatory variations be handled in the app's architecture? | Regulatory variations should be added as configuration settings rather than necessitating changes to the core codebase. |
| List three features that are often required by Fortune 500 procurement teams for feature scalability. | SAML 2.0 single sign-on, SCIM 2.0 deprovisioning, and multi-tenancy with row-level data isolation. |
| Why are PostGIS indexes necessary for the 'data scale' needs of Houston's logistics companies? | They allow the application to efficiently run complex geospatial queries across enormous operational datasets without collapsing under load. |
| What are the typical characteristics of 'Local Studios and Freelancers' in the Houston market? | They are small teams of 2 to 10 people who excel at consumer-facing apps but lack domain expertise in regulated fields like energy or healthcare. |
| Which vendor category is the 'right fit' for extensions of existing IT systems where the client provides internal architecture leadership? | Large IT Services Companies. |
| How do Product Engineering Companies differ from Large IT Services firms in their approach to specifications? | Product Engineering Companies challenge the specifications based on domain knowledge and iterate quickly on evolving requirements rather than just executing a predefined plan. |
| Why is 'op-sqlite' preferred over default SQLite for Houston oilfield deployments? | It runs 10 to 100 times faster, which is critical for write-intensive field operations on mobile devices. |
| What HIPAA technical safeguard section covers the requirement for unique user identification? | §164.312(a)(1). |
| According to HIPAA §164.312(a)(2)(iii), what is the standard requirement for healthcare app sessions? | Automatic logoff with a configurable timeout, typically set to 15 minutes. |
| What role does 'certificate pinning' play in healthcare app security? | It enhances TLS 1.3 security by ensuring the app only communicates with a specific, trusted server certificate. |
| How does the '60/70-hour rule' affect the design of Houston logistics applications? | The rule must be strictly enforced by the app's logic to maintain FMCSA compliance for commercial truck drivers. |
| In energy trading apps, Dodd-Frank compliance primarily affects the reporting of _____. | over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives |
| What is the key difference between ISO 27001 certification for a vendor and for the product they build? | Vendor certification covers their internal management systems, but the app itself must be built with specific controls (like A.14.2.1) to support the client's own certification. |
| In React Native's New Architecture, what replaces the 'Bridge' to allow direct C++ communication? | JSI (JavaScript Interface). |
| How does the 'Fabric' renderer improve enterprise apps containing complex inspection forms? | It enables synchronous native UI interactions, which eliminates the rendering 'jank' often seen in data-intensive forms. |
| What is the advantage of using 'TurboModules' in apps deployed to devices with limited RAM? | They reduce memory overhead by loading native modules on demand rather than all at once during startup. |
| When deciding between on-device and server-side AI, which factor necessitates on-device inference? | The need for the feature to function offline or the requirement for a response time below 50 milliseconds. |
| Why should sprint reviews for Houston deployments be conducted on target devices rather than simulators? | Simulators cannot replicate real-world constraints like sunlight readability, thermal throttling, or gloved operation. |
| At what ambient temperature do Android devices typically begin thermal throttling, reducing CPU performance by up to 60%? | $45^{\circ}C$ (approximately $113^{\circ}F$). |
| What is the minimum touch target size recommended for mobile apps used by workers wearing gloves? | 48x48dp. |
| To ensure outdoor readability in the Texas sun, what is the minimum recommended screen brightness for a mobile device? | 300 candelas per square meter. |
| Which SAP API is commonly used for real-time work order integration in Houston's energy sector? | SAP OData APIs. |
| What is the purpose of a 'library audit register' in enterprise mobile development? | To track the maintenance status, community health, and OS compatibility of third-party React Native libraries. |
| Which specific metric indicates an early warning sign of poor 'product alignment' at month three of an engagement? | Shipped features requiring more than 20% scope change within two sprints. |
| Why is React Native considered more cost-effective than native development for Houston enterprises with heterogeneous fleets? | It avoids the 1.7x to 2.2x cost increase of building and maintaining separate codebases for iOS and Android. |
| For which specific scenario is native iOS/Android development still recommended over React Native? | Apps requiring deep native hardware integration with proprietary industrial peripherals or high-performance 3D/AR gaming. |
