(1990) define the overall global coupling of a system to be the median value of

units, then C(S)=
median of the set {C(x
n
, x

), for all the n, m from1throughj }. Thus, we
would want to strive toward a lower C(S) when designing a software system.
8.4 Object-Oriented Design Metrics
In this section we explore how the earlier notion of keeping the design
