This study is designed to identify metrics and attributes for assessing the stability of handheld application usage. The objectives of this study are to identify: 1) what stability measures are really important for assessing the stability of handheld application usage; 2) what is the association of the identified stability measures in order to assess the stability of handheld application usage; 3) what is the relationship of the identified stability measures in order to assess the stability of handheld application usage; and 4) what is the rank order of these stability measures towards assessing the stability of handheld application usage. As a result, a total number of eleven stability measures (i.e. eight stability metrics and three stability attributes) were identified as contributed towards assessing the stability of handheld application usage.
