ABSTRACT
This research study was on An Expert System for Mobile Software Reliability (A Case Study of Idem Electronic, Uyo). The research study was necessary so as to provide a automated system to evaluate the level of reliability of the different software available in the mobile industry. Limited research work had been conducted on assessment of mobile software reliability and this has also brought about limited information on the reliability index of mobile software. Since there are numerous mobile software application in the market that perform specific function, there is need to determine their level of ease of usage, fault detection rate, rate of break down, etc in relation to one another. This information will enable manufactures and vendors of the software to determine which mobile software is more reliable and which needs improvement. The software development methodology used is object oriented Analysis and Design Methodology (OOADM) and the programming language used is Visual BASIC 6.0.
