A software development team is working on a new application that needs to operate on multiple operating systems for compatibility testing. The team wants to avoid the overhead of maintaining multiple physical machines. Which of the following is the MOST efficient solution to satisfy the team's requirements?
Install a dual-boot configuration on all developers' local machines to switch between operating systems for testing.
Use remote desktops to access hosted operating systems on different servers managed by the IT department.
Deploy virtual machines for each required operating system to simulate different environments on a single physical host.
Purchase physical machines for each operating system that needs testing, to ensure full compatibility.
Using virtual machines to provide an environment for cross-platform virtualization is the most efficient solution for the development team. Virtual machines enable the team to run multiple operating systems on a single physical machine, which facilitates easy compatibility testing without the need for multiple physical systems. Virtual machines act as a sandbox where developers can create and test in isolated environments that simulate different operating systems.
