Browser Standards and Performance Requirements

Siebel Open UI performs best on modern browsers that comply with W3C standards. Siebel Open UI is built on the HTML 5 standards. Oracle is committed to supporting Web standards to ensure that users have a problem-free experience when using Siebel Open UI applications.

For the current release, Siebel Open UI supports Web browsers for Siebel CRM applications if they conform to the following browser standards:

  • HTML. Browsers must support HTML 5 to take full advantage of the features in Siebel Open UI. For an overview of HTML 5 browser compliance, see:

    http://html5test.com/results/desktop.html

  • Cascading style sheets (CSS). Browsers must support CSS 3.0.

  • JavaScript. Browsers must support JavaScript (ECMA-262 and later). The performance of the chosen browser and computing device has a large impact on Siebel Open UI client performance. Any browser or device that can meet a .4 second or less SunSpider JavaScript benchmark generally yields acceptable performance for Siebel Open UI. This figure is a guideline only and requires user acceptance testing as validation. This benchmark test is available here:

    See also Performance for Siebel Open UI Client.

  • WAI-ARIA. For users that require accessibility features, browsers must support WAI-ARIA (Web Accessibility Initiative: Accessible Rich Internet Applications) and WAI-ARIA-compliant technologies such as screen readers. For more information, see Siebel Fundamentals Guide.

Oracle tests Siebel Open UI internally against W3C standards and validates using commonly used enterprise browsers from Apple, Google, Microsoft, and Mozilla. For more information about the browser standards supported by Siebel Open UI, and for particular browser versions that are certified as supporting those standards, see the Certifications tab on My Oracle Support.

General performance comparison information for a variety of browsers and hardware are provided in Siebel Open UI Deployment Guide. This data provides a means of comparing relative computing performance in a normalized manner.
