coupling
Last modified: Wednesday, October 24, 2007 

In computer science, coupling is considered to be the degree to which each program module relies on other modules, and is also the term used to describe connecting two or more systems. Coupling is broken down into loose coupling, tight coupling, and decoupled. Coupling is also used to describe software as well as systems. Also called dependency.

See also loose coupling, tight coupling, and decoupled.
