coupling
The degree to which components depend
on one another. There are two types of coupling, "tight" and
"loose". Loose coupling is desirable for good software
engineering but tight coupling may be necessary for maximum
performance. Coupling is increased when the data exchanged
between components becomes larger or more complex.
