Where it gets hard is when you are running Snow Leopard or earlier, and not for any technological reason—those versions are artificially blocked from running in a virtual machine unless you are running the Server version, due to certain terms in the EULA. Apple seems to have revised the license for Lion and later, though, and those versions generally have no problems running in VMWare (I haven’t tried it in Parallels).
I ended up going with VMWare (because Lee Ann, not because I have anything against Parallels). It was straightforward, except that I don’t see that the mechanism for creating an OS X VM is *discoverable* in the app. The answer was to drag the installer app into the setup wizard window, but I don’t know how I would know that without searching the web for instructions.
The next thing I’m wondering is if there’s a way to debug the app running in the 10.8 VM from Xcode 7.1.1. (This is starting to be more of an Xcode question, sorry.) I’m not sure I need this yet, but I can’t remember having read if it’s supposed to be possible.
