摘要：Coupling is the extent to which the functions performed by a subsystem are related. Low coupling is a characteristic of a well-designed subcomponent. The problem noted for research in this paper is lack of standardization of measures, ambiguity in definition of measures and poor conceptual links between coupling components. The key objective of this research paper is to propose a model for coupling measurement in object oriented software system. A review of related work is conducted on coupling frameworks. In this research data was collected from various software systems, analyzed using a Poisson distribution model and unified coupling model generated. From the model an algorithm was developed for assessing coupling in software systems. In conclusion coupling model of five components; object level coupling, static level coupling, dynamic and static level coupling is developed an algorithm proposed to support coupling measurement in object oriented software systems. In the unified model developed a coupling value of 0.049 and below indicates low coupling while a coupling value of 0.05 to 0.1 indicates high coupling in the software system.
