Question:
A software engineer is involved in the development of an application. For usability tests, the engineer needs to make sure that the application will work in both Windows 7 and Windows 8 environments. The features and functions must be verified in the actual OS environment. The engineer is using a Windows 7 workstation. What two technologies can help the engineer achieve the usability tests? (Choose two.)

• dual boot
• two separate CPUs
• storage redundancy
• client-side virtualization
• two separate hard disks

Explanation: Client-side virtualization enables a host OS to provide a virtual environment within which a guest OS can be installed and be operational as an actual OS. The dual boot configuration will provide an option to run either OS (but not both at the same time). Just using two disks is not a sufficient solution to run two separate OS.
