Testing

Every release is fully tested on a current stable version of Windows 10, 64-bit running  the latest stable version of Google Chrome. If you want to work on a fully supported and tested system, we recommend working on a system with these characteristics.

Every system configuration is different, if your system environment is listed under the supported configurations, your bug reports will be handled with highest priority.

Please note that in limited supported systems not every bug or error can be solved.  This is due to the fact that different systems or browsers process information differently, thus originating different output.


Example

Chrome recognizes both "10.2" and "10,2" as correct format for numbers. Firefox on the contrary, does not recognize "10.2" as a valid number format, therefore it cannot be used for calculations.
