  • METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DETERMINING AUTHORITATIVENESS OF FIRST SOFTWARE COMPONENT WITH REGARD TO SECOND SOFTWARE COMPONENT
    Publication number: 20100205584
    Abstract: For identification of the quality of trustworthiness and reliability of software components, an eigenvector based approach is used in which a procedure invocation graph of a set of software components is provided. Subsequently, the authoritativeness of a first software component is calculated as a function of an eigenvector of the provided procedure invocation graph. For calculating the authoritativeness, a flexible algorithm, which considers background knowledge is used. Applying the method, software code can be analyzed more efficiently. The method can be applied in software code analysis and/or in software architecture analysis.
