摘要
Coupling metrics aid in identifying the factors that may have an impact on the quality of object-oriented software systems. The high degree of coupling may affect some external software quality attributes, such as maintainability. This paper presents the results of a study with software developers ranging from different levels of programming experience. Based on answers obtained in this study, metrics of coupling were related with the purpose of identifying critical issues in a software project.
