component coupling
[/kəmˈpoʊnənt ˈkʌplɪŋ/]
nounpl: component couplings
acoplamento de componentes
1. The degree of interdependence between software or hardware components; a measure of how closely one component is connected to another
High component coupling can make software maintenance difficult because changes in one module may affect many others.
Um alto acoplamento de componentes pode tornar a manutenção do software difícil porque mudanças em um módulo podem afetar muitos outros.
2. In mechanical engineering, the physical connection or linkage between two or more machine parts
The component coupling in the engine shaft ensures proper power transmission.
O acoplamento de componentes no eixo do motor garante a transmissão adequada de potência.
3. In software architecture, the extent to which modules or classes depend on the internal details of one another
Developers should aim for loose component coupling to improve code reusability.
Os desenvolvedores devem buscar um acoplamento de componentes flexível para melhorar a reutilização de código.
This is primarily technical terminology used in software engineering and mechanical engineering fields. In Brazil, the term is widely understood in tech hubs like São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. The concept of reducing component coupling is a fundamental principle in software design methodologies taught in Brazilian universities and tech companies.
