import coupling comparison table

Subject use by cause has definition have disadvantage be is a kind of reduce by

coupling A measure of the extent to which interdependencies exist between software modules hard to assess software quality

import coupling Java a system to suddenly fail if a new item is added to an imported file, and this new item has the same name as something you have already defined in your subsystem A form of coupling in which one component declares that it imports (makes use of the definitions in) another if the imported component changes something on which the importer relies, or adds something that raises a conflict with something in the importer, then the importer must change a weaker form of inclusion coupling coupling not importing packages or classes which you do not need
