[edit] Renaming to : Coupling (Computer science)
I propose to rename this entry to Coupling (Computer science) as this the most used terme by the specialists of the filed along with Cohesion, we need then to put a disambiguation link at the begining of Coupling. --Khalid hassani 14:36, 20 May 2005 (UTC)
- Are you sure that coupling is used more than the dependency? Also I am not so sure what you mean by specialists. By that, do you mean computer scientists? computer programmers? hackers? -- Taku 20:10, May 20, 2005 (UTC)
- by specialists I mean computer scientists and programmers, I have always heard about the couple coupling/cohesion as dual concepts et not dependency/cohesion. I think that there are in facts two different concepts in this entry, dependency which is in fact, rather related to RPM and packages, and coupling which is used in Object Oriented design, the two concepts are from two diffrents cultures, Linux hackers for the first and programmers using Object oriented languages for the second.--Khalid hassani 21:48, 21 May 2005 (UTC)
- I would also rename this entry to Coupling (Computer science). In the article itself, the term "Coupling" occurs 28 times, whereas "Dependency" occurs only 6 times (not counting the name of the article). And Coupling#Computer programming points to here. I'm going to do the rename (maybe in about 8 or 10 hours). — Adrian | Talk 23:50, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
- I have moved the article to Coupling (computer science). — Adrian | Talk 12:20, 10 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] gains in the software development process
"...the gains in the software development process are greater than the value of the running performance gain."
I feel that this statement may be more opinionated than factual. Perhaps omission of this would be prudent?
[edit] Merge from the article "Low-Coupling / High-Cohesion pattern"
I have just merged the contents of the article "Low-Coupling / High-Cohesion pattern" into this article here under a new section with the same name. "Low-Coupling / High-Cohesion pattern" is now a redirect to here (see also Merging and moving pages). — Adrian | Talk 20:40, 10 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] What about levelization and circular dependencies
John Lakos' book "Large-Scale C++ Software Design", although sometimes criticized for having some outdated C++ coding practices, has a good treatment of circular dependencies (a case of high coupling), as well as levelization. I believe this article is incomplete without a treatment of this subject.
