Question

What is the name of the procedure by which the operating system terminates an application's process when the user navigates away from the application?

Options

  • AFast application switching
  • BClosing
  • CTombstoning
  • DDormant

Explanation

The correct name for the process that initiates when a user navigates forward and away from the current application is called tombstoning. The operating system will maintain information about the last state of the application so that it can be recalled when the application is reactivated. Closing refers to the application state when the user presses the back button on the phone to the point that navigation moves beyond the initial application page. Dormant is the process whereby a running application is replaced by a new application. For example an application will go dormant when the splash screen starts during phone lock or when another application is loaded. Fast application switching is an enhancement to tombstoning in that Windows phone with the mango (7.5) enhancements can hold multiple applications in a ready to use state but an application can still be tombstoned if the running application requires additional memory.
