CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1101) — Question 164

A web developer needs to test the compatibility of web functions across multiple different browsers and versions of those browsers. The web developer only has one machine and cannot install multiple browser versions. Which of the following should the developer do to BEST resolve the issue?

Answer options

• A. Purchase more machines.
• B. Deploy application virtualization.
• C. Test using a virtual desktop.
• D. Set up a multiboot configuration.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Using a virtual desktop allows the developer to run multiple operating systems and browser versions simultaneously on one machine, making it the most efficient solution. Purchasing more machines is impractical and costly, while application virtualization may not fully replicate browser environments. A multiboot configuration would require rebooting to switch between environments, which is less efficient for testing.
