D1: Coupling and Cohesion

Learning Goals

✤ To describe the principle of cohesion

✤ To describe the principle of coupling

✤ To refactor a system to reduce coupling and improve


cohesion

✤ To identify instances of high coupling and/or poor


cohesion in software design
Cohesion

✤ Cohesion: The Single Responsibility Principle

✤ Each class should have one, clearly defined purpose


Coupling

✤ A measure of the degree to which one part of the


system depends on other parts of the system. Shows
up when a change in one class results in another class
not compiling (so such cases show up in an obvious
way).

✤ For example, you have multiple classes that depend on


ClassA. Changing the signature of a method in ClassA
(e.g., changing the type of a parameter) will result in
classes that call that method not compiling.
