Part III

Balance

Part II delved into how coupled components can impact each other across three dimensions: strength, space (distance), and time (volatility). Part III combines the materials in Parts I and II and turns coupling into a design tool. You will learn how to combine the three dimensions of coupling to design modular software.

Chapter 10 introduces the concept of balanced coupling, a model for evaluating the overall effects of coupling. You will learn how to use the dimensions of coupling to identify the complexity, costs, and modularity of the resultant system.

Chapter 11 continues the discussion of balanced coupling in the context of system evolution. It shows how to identify critical changes in the system’s environment and how to ...
