&lt;p&gt;I’d test these on exception handling as much as form creation. Field crews inevitably enter incomplete data, capture poor photos, or reconnect after hours offline. For TrueContext, Fulcrum, or FastField Forms users, how well does validation work offline, and what happens when invalid or conflicting records sync back later? Did digitisation genuinely eliminate paper, or did teams keep it as a fallback?&lt;/p&gt;
