In software engineering, coupling is:
- The manner and degree of interdependence between software modules;
- A measure of how closely connected two routines or modules are;
- The strength of the relationships between modules.
Description
Coupling is usually contrasted with cohesion.
Low coupling often correlates with high cohesion, and vice versa.
Low coupling is often a sign of a well-structured computer system and a good design, and when combined with high cohesion, supports the general goals of high readability and maintainability.
