An organization upgrades a SharePoint 2010 environment to SharePoint 2013. A site collection is running in SharePoint 2010 compatibility mode. You must verify that the following features will function correctly when the site collection is upgraded to SharePoint 2013 native mode:
- List views
- Custom web parts
- Content query web parts
- Subsites
You need to ensure that you can perform verification testing without impacting the current user experience. What should you do?

Question

Accepted Answer

D. Generate an upgrade evaluation site collection. Generating an upgrade evaluation site collection creates a temporary, separate copy of the site collection upgraded to SharePoint 2013 native mode. This allows administrators to verify list views, custom web parts, content query web parts, and subsites in a sandbox environment. The production site collection remains unchanged and in 2010 compatibility mode throughout the testing process.

Answer

A. Upgrade the site collection to SharePoint 2013. Upgrading the site collection directly to SharePoint 2013 is irreversible and immediately impacts the current user experience, violating the requirement.

Answer

B. Perform a database attach upgrade. A database attach upgrade is a migration strategy for moving content to a new farm, not a mechanism for pre-upgrade verification testing on an existing farm.

Answer

C. Enable the Visual Upgrade option for the site collection. The Visual Upgrade option was a SharePoint 2010 feature for switching the UI rendering mode and does not provide an isolated environment for compatibility testing in SharePoint 2013.
