Web pages have a great importance, especially today with the rise of technology. This paper describes the PageRank method, used for rating web pages, basically measuring the human relevance of the web page for the content it contains. We use PageRank to rank the 10 most important citations found in 20 Software Testing research papers. We show how to get the citation text you need and use PageRank to rank the citation titles by occurrence.
