The coupling between different modules of a software is categorized as follows:

I. Content coupling

II. Common coupling

III. Control coupling

IV. Stamp coupling

V. Data coupling

What will be the ranking of coupling between modules from strongest to weakest?

  1. A.

    I – III – V – II – IV

  2. B.

    IV – II – V – III – I

  3. C.

    V – IV – III – II – I

  4. D.

    I – II – III – IV – V

Attempted by 57 students.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

The standard hierarchy of software coupling from strongest to weakest is: Content coupling (I), Common coupling (II), Control coupling (III), Stamp coupling (IV), and Data coupling (V). Content coupling is strongest as it involves direct modification of internal code, while Data coupling is weakest as it only shares necessary parameters between modules.
