Adoption

Definition: Adoption is an attempt to use access log statistics to determine adopted use of a particular browser. Some refer to this as market share.

Measurable Evaluation Criteria: It is important not only to measure the current percentage use of a particular browser, as compared to others, but also the rate of change over time to determine trends. Furthermore it is necessary to attempt to find or collect statistics for different segments.
