Difference Between Coupling and Cohesion

The document outlines key software engineering concepts including the differences between coupling and cohesion, the open-closed principle, and the static and dynamic structures of programming. It also discusses programming practices, incremental coding processes like test-driven development and pair programming, and common coding errors to avoid. Additionally, it includes a class diagram for a queue and mentions a sequence diagram for a library management system.

Difference Between Coupling and Cohesion


Coupling Cohesion

achieve a single purpose.
Inter-module Binding Intra-module Binding
Between two different modules. Between the same module.
Loose coupling High cohesion
Coupling is avoided for software. Cohesion is good for software.
2. What is Open-closed Principle
▪Principle: Classes should be open for extension but closed for modification
3. Briefly explain static structure and dynamic structure of structured programming.
1. A program has a static structure which is the ordering of stmts in the code – and this is a linear ordering
- order in which stmts are linear order
2. A program also has dynamic structure –order in which stmts are executed
4. list at least 4 programing practices that should be considered while writing a program
- Documentation, Code readability Testing, Error handling, Security practice, Maintainability

5. briefly explain an incremental coding process test driven development and pair programing
- An Incremental Coding Process : Write code for the module, unit test it, fix the bugs
▪It is better to do this incrementally – write code for part of functionality, then test it and fix it, then proceed
- Test Driven Development ▪ programmer first writes the test scripts and then writes the code to pass the test
cases in the script
- Pair Programming ▪Code is written by pair of programmers rather than individuals
6. least and explain at list three common coding errors that need to be avoided

- Memory Leaks- A memory leak is a situation, where the memory is allocated to the program which is not
freed subsequently
- Freeing an Already Freed Resource- Programmer tries to free the already freed resource
- NULL Dereferencing - Occurs when we access a location that points to NULL
- Lack of Unique Addresses - Aliasing creates many problems among them is violation of unique addresses
when we expect different addresses.
- Synchronization Errors - Possible when there are multiple threads which are accessing some common
resources, in a parallel program
- Buffer overflow - It is a security vulnerability, can be exploited by executing arbitrary code by a malicious
user
7. draw class diagram for queue

Queue
{private} front: int
{private} rear:int
{readonly} MAX:int
{public} add(element:int)
{public}remove():int
{protected}isEmpty():boolean

8. draw a sequence diagram for library management system
