Abstract
This paper presents to a performance quantification methodology for browser applications that operate in a distributed computing environment and are used in a nondeterministic way. It asserts that usability is intimately tied to response time, and that a single metric to quantify response time can be developed using probabilistic arguments. This metric incorporates both the delays inherent in the operation of a distributed application, and the observed frequency of each delay in order to create a single value that represents the responsiveness of the application.
