Software engineering
Control coupling
Computer; Software engineering
A type of coupling in which one software module communicates information to another module for the explicit purpose of influencing the latter module's execution.
Hybrid coupling
Computer; Software engineering
A type of coupling in which different subsets of the range of values that a data item can assume are used for different and unrelated purposes in different software module.
Coincidental cohesion
Computer; Software engineering
A type of cohesion in which the tasks performed by a software module have no functional relationship to one another.
Pathological coupling
Computer; Software engineering
A type of coupling in which one software module affects or depends upon the internal implementation of another.
Functional cohesion
Computer; Software engineering
A type of cohesion in which the tasks performed by a software module all contribute to the performance of a single function.
Data exception
Computer; Software engineering
An exception that occurs when a programme attempts to use or access data incorrectly.
Exception
Computer; Software engineering
An event that causes suspension of normal programme execution. Types include addressing exception, data exception, operation exception, overflow exception, protection exception, underflow exception.
