Accenture Interview Question
Applications DevelopersCountry: United States
Interview Type: Written Test
Developers persist in claiming that "task killers" or "app killers" improve performance, but this attitude ignores the real problem: poorly-written apps. As long as we continue to claim that task killers help, users will continue to use apps that leave unnecessary services, etc. running. Forcing users to use task killers is like dealing with a termite problem by killing one termite at a time as you see them. The real answer is to exterminate all the termites.
In short, anyone who shows you how to kill all background processes is doing you a disservice and the Android community a disservice.
