Chapter 7
Integration Strength
Built on the backbone of structured design,
The integration strength model, a new paradigm.
Connascence on board, detailing the ties,
Exposing the nuances of knowledge flow paths.
The previous chapter ended with an example in which structured design’s module coupling and connascence produced opposite results: Module coupling pointed to the strongest level of interconnectedness, while connascence pointed to the weakest level. Although this result might sound surprising, it is reasonable and expected once you analyze what exactly is reflected by each model.
I will begin this chapter with a discussion of the essential aspects of inter-module relationships reflected by structured design’s module coupling and connascence. ...
