Line 3: In [[computer science]], '''coupling''' or '''dependency''' is the degree to which each program module relies on each other module. Coupling is usually contrasted with [[cohesion]]. Low coupling often correlates with high cohesion, and vice versa. The [[software metric\|software quality metrics]] of coupling and cohesion were invented by Larry Constantine, original developer of Structured Design (see also [[Structured Systems Analysis and Design Methodology\|SSADM]]). It must be noted that the specific term ''coupling'' is used in [[Object-oriented programming]] design along with its dual notion cohesion, while ''dependency'' is used in more traditional programming.
