tight coupling comparison table

Subject is a kind of cause has definition

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

tight coupling coupling a system to be hard to understand and change because
changes in one place will require changes somewhere else. Requiring changes to be made in more than one place is problematic since it is time-consuming to find the different places that need changing, and it is likely that errors will be made
A network of interdependencies makes it hard to see at a glance how some component works
