Apply HITS Algorithm to Measuring Class´s Authoritative Complexity

The research, development and applications of software measurement have been carried out for more than forty years. It can help software developers analyze reliability, maintainability and complexity of systems. Till now, researchers have proposed lots of cohesion and couple metrics. However very little work is involved in measuring classes´ authority. This paper put forward a method of measuring class authoritative complexity by famous HITS algorithm in web structure mining. Furthermore, it has minimum and maximum values by virtue of linear algebra. Finally, a small but realistic example is illustrated.
