2. Fill up the memory with files and data and leave exactly the same amount of memory required for the installation of the APP.

Expected result: APP should get installed on the phone, but as you launch the APP the phone should refuse as it doesn't have even 1 KB of extra space that the APP might require to cache some data.

3. Run the App in low memory: Leave only a small amount (5-7 KB) of space for the app to run. While you are in the app and continuously making server calls this memory will also get filled up.
