In today's technology environment, applications must be developed to run on various platforms and operating systems. This widens the target market for an application and increases its functionality. It is common for users to access the application across various platforms, including computers, tablets, mobile phones, and even wearable devices. Migrating across platforms and between operating systems requires that the user interface be consistent. The functionality is the same regardless of the device or platform the user uses to run the application. This is known as adaptive programming. The interviewer will be very interested in your skills and experience in this area since most contemporary applications need to adapt to their environments.

"Adaptive programming and application portability across devices and operating systems is one of the key design elements of the projects I work on. I use several tools to achieve this objective. Programming in object-oriented languages such as C and Java and then compiling the application for a specific platform is one way to achieve this. Creating adaptable user interfaces ensures that the software will appear the same regardless of the device it is running on. I stay up to date on operating system upgrades so that the application can be modified to take advantage of the OS's new features or requirements."
