Chrome is the best recommended browser to use since the Zephyr framework utilizes modern web technology which can be best rendered by using the Chrome browser. Other modern browsers such as Firefox and Internet Explorer can work too, but Zephyr also provides users with a Chrome extension for users wanting to utilize Zephyr Exploratory. Chrome is Zephyr's recommended browser of choice because using another browser may lead to certain UI objects not being optimally rendered on screen within the Zephyr application. For instance, users may experience extra scroll bars, buttons not working, text not being selectable, etc. Internet Explorer is Zephyr's worst browser choice and is not recommended due to the poor experience with HTML5 and Angular JS (rendering issues, etc.) while using this browser. We also recommend against using IE as users tend to experience issues with the excel import when using IE. |
Oracle has recently changed the licensing terms for JAVA Standard Edition 8 (required by Zephyr). Here's a summary of the impact and what Zephyr is doing about this:
Important: Please note that OpenJDK or the Java embedded with linux OS distribution will not work with Zephyr. JAVA SE 8 can be downloaded from https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/pt/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html. |
