ITS Software Release Browser Testing Checklist

Summer 2009 had updates to all the ITS supported browsers. They included Internet Explorer (version 8), Firefox (version 3.5) and Safari (version 4). Below is a chart showing what campus systems have been tested so far with each new browser update. This testing will help the Support Center in their ability to support these new browser updates.

The campus system has been tested with the browser if there is a in the corresponding box (exceptions are noted).

  • Not recommended - This browser may work with the campus system, but it is not recommended. Another browser (or version) is preferred.
  • Not supported - This browser is not supported with the campus system. Known issues may exist. Please use another browser.

If you don't see a campus system listed here, it probably is not a web-based (DivData, Millennium, R25, etc.).
