Uncoupled: When the different modules have no interconnection among them
then they are called uncoupled modules.
Factors Affecting Coupling Between Modules
The various factors which affect the coupling between modules are depicted in
Table 5.1.
TABLE 5.1 Factors Affecting Coupling
Interface Complexity Type of Connection Type of Communication
Low Simple Obvious To module by name Data
High Complicated Obscure To internal elements ControlHybrid
Types of Couplings
Different types of couplings include content, common, external, control, stamp,
and data. The strength of a coupling from the lowest coupling (best) to the highest ...
