1. A method for developing an application for an on-line service system, the method comprising:

  • under control of a computing system configured with processor executable instructions,establishing a development account of a third-party biller and establishing development account storage space for the third-party biller on a development system within the on-line service system, the development account uniquely identifying authorized developers of the third-party biller,storing the application to the development account storage space on the development system, wherein the application;

    is developed by at least one of the authorized developers of the third-party biller through one or more scripting languages; and

    comprises a first component and a second component, the first component being hosted by the on-line service system to navigate a user interface (UI) and invoke one or more functions of the on-line service system, the second component being hosted by the third-party biller to provide detailed billing information not stored at the on-line service system, the first component, responsive to a user request, being configured to redirect a browser from the on-line service system to the third-party biller so that the user accesses the detailed billing information via the third-party biller hosting the second component;

    invoking, at the on-line service system, an automated validation agent for validating the application before promoting the application to production status for use by the on-line service system, the validating comprising analyzing codes of the application for conflicts, programming errors and security problems; and
