            Abstract : 
Software testing costs would be reduced if we could find which classes or models of software are more complex and thus more likely to have defects. This paper defines a method which uses the software complexity measurement from complex network method to allocate resources in complex software system for gray-box testing. It presents the way of mapping the software codes to complex network and some metric´s effects in software network, such as degree and degree of ripple. By using these metrics, it defines the complexity measurement to complex software network. The work about C++ complex software system shows how to use this method.
