Mobile-based software has become popular in the software industry. In light of this, people are now relying on using various mobile software applications to do their daily tasks. Internet of Things is a technology where device to device can communicate with a common goal to facilitate solutions for human daily life.This communication generates a huge amount of data. This data to be processed will consume a lot of energy which impacts the quality of service (QoS). IoT devices are restricted by limited resources, storage, and processing. Due to the device{u2019}s limited capacity, maintaining the reliability of mobile-based software is one of the most critical issues for smartphones. The energy consumption and some of the quality of service attributes like the reliability, of communication interfaces, such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Near Field Communication (NFC), WIFI Direct, and GPS could be measured via the APIs. Wi-Fi direct is a technology based on peer-to-peer architecture. Smartphones can form a group and connect off the Internet, using Wi-Fi Direct to share data and utilize services. The lifetime of the applications that are over Wi-Fi Direct is depending on the proper selection of the group owner. If a group owner becomes dysfunctional, the quality of service of these software applications will be compromised due to the loss of information, the time wasted repairing the group, and the exhaustion of resources.Therefore, plenty of research has been conducted on how to choose group owners to enhance the software and application quality. This research provides a software framework to enhance the quality of service in terms of dependability and by extension reliability and repairability of software over Wi-Fi Direct technology as well as the rationalization of resources used to perform services
