Our Quality Assurance (QA) cycle typically begins one month prior to our target for customer availability (also known as Service Availability) and the browser test plans are executed at the "then-current" release of each of the browsers above. Accordingly, the browser vendors may release updates to their software that do not make it into our QA cycle for that release of CA Nimsoft Service Desk. Generally, the CA Nimsoft support for each of these browsers may be up to one calendar quarter later than the commercial availability of the browser. CA supports non-tested or non-certified browsers on a best effort basis, usually starting with a test to determine if a customer-reported issue is reproducible in a tested or certified browser. CA Nimsoft Service Desk customers must consider the above policy in conjunction with their own software update policies to ensure the best end-user experience with CA Nimsoft Service Desk. Note: There are currently known performance issues on IE 8 with regard to CA Nimsoft Service Desk 7. Additionally due to IE s limited support of HTML 5 there are issues rendering certain components in the interface. These components will still work but may not show as designed. IE 9 is supported. However, Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome are still recommended as their performance is better. Chapter 3: Client Browser Support Matrix 11
