DETERMINING FACTORS, DESIRABLE PERSONALITY TRAITS AND SKILLSETS
Just like any other application developer, Android developers design programs and test applications created for a specific operating system or platform.

Such applications must be able to adjust to each device’s specification, which means the developer must anticipate and compensate for those differences.
