Cohesion of any software determines the strength of its source code, and can be further comprehended through exploring its associative principles, types, and calculating methods. It is often contrasted with coupling, a different concept. It is introduced to capture the ‘quality’, ‘conciseness’ and ‘effectiveness’ features of a program into software engineering domain.
