Mac testing IE using Virtual Box

To test on IE on Mac I use Virtual Box and an IE image (which Microsoft provides). Setup as follows. download virtualbox from Oracle download an IE image from Microsoft (mac page) ; choose VirtualBox as Platform unarchive the IE image (I had to download TheUnarchiver) as recommended by Microsoft; right click and choose the unarchiver to open; should unpack a .ova file start virtual box choose File -> Import Appliance and choose the .ova file you unarchived it should create an entry in the BV list which you can run should startup and you can run IE To access localhost I use my machines IP name instead of "localhost" 10.0.2.2 also works for localhost (don't forget ur port number if you have one) Links Import ova files to VB: https://www.maketecheasier.com/import-export-ova-files-in-virtualbox/
