Abstract
Remote code browsing is a service by which an end user can select the location of a potentially useful piece of software and have the software fetched and installed on a virtual machine running on a remote server, such that the user may test the suitability of the software without having to install it on their own machine. This capability is made possible by a range of existing technologies combined in a novel way. This paper explains the motivation for code browsing, and describes how our current implementation works.
