Abstract
Web‐based browsers are quickly becoming ubiquitous in the workplace. Software development managers are quick to incorporate browsers into a broad range of software development projects, often inappropriately. The purpose of this paper is to examine the technical issues relevant to incorporating browsers as a component of a commercial off‐the‐shelf (COTS)‐based solution. Issues examined include portability, performance, functionality, security, human factors, distribution, installation, upgrading, component‐based development, runtime configuration management, and licensing.
