I'm just a user who has used NDT Web100 tests for many years.  Thought 
you might like to know that testing against your server, IE 11 on Win 10 
Preview running on Hyper-V on host machine Windows 8.0 Pro, works great 
for the Java test.  Graphics are really nice.  Results are accurate. 
On IE 10, on the host Windows 8.0 Pro machine, the test runs fine and is 
accurate but doesn't show anything except the summary information.

None of my Gecko based browsers can run the test on Win 8 Pro or Win 10 
Preview.  On Fx 36.0.4, Flash wants to run even if I click on Java.  The 
Flash test never initializes.
