The study presents a new method for evaluating the reliability of mobile applications using the Corcoran model. This model includes several aspects of reliability, including performance, reliability, availability, scalability, security, usability, and testability. The Corcoran model can be applied to evaluate mobile applications by analysing key reliability metrics. Using the model significantly improves the reliability assessment of applications compared to traditional methods, which are primarily focused on desktop and server configurations. The aim of the study is to offer a more optimised approach to evaluating the reliability of mobile applications. The paper examines the problems faced by mobile app developers. This study represents a new application of the Corcoran model in evaluating the reliability of mobile applications. This model is characterised by an emphasis on the use of quantitative statistics and the ability to provide an accurate estimate of the probability of failure without any inaccuracies, which distinguishes this model from other software reliability models. The paper suggests using a combination of analytical statistical models, data extraction methods such as sequential pattern analysis, and fuzzy set theory to implement the Corcoran model. The application of the methodology is demonstrated by studying software error reports and conducting a comprehensive statistical analysis of them. To improve the results of future research, the paper suggests making more extensive use of the Corcoran model in various mobile applications and environments. It is recommended to change the model to take into account the constantly changing characteristics of mobile applications and their increasing complexity. In addition, it is advisable to conduct additional research to improve the data mining methods used in the model and explore the possibility of integrating artificial intelligence for more advanced software reliability analysis. Applying the Corcoran model to the mobile app development process to evaluate reliability can significantly improve the quality of applications, leading to increased customer satisfaction and trust in mobile apps. This model can serve as a guide for developers and companies to evaluate and improve their applications, driving innovation and continuous improvement in the competitive mobile app sector.
