==History== The [[software metric|software quality metrics]] of coupling and cohesion were invented by [[Larry Constantine]] in the late 1960s as part of a [[structured design]], based on characteristics of βgoodβ programming practices that reduced maintenance and modification costs. Structured design, including cohesion and coupling, were published in the article ''Stevens, Myers & Constantine'' (1974)<ref name="Stevens_1974"/> and the book ''Yourdon & Constantine'' (1979),<ref name="Yourdon_1979"/> and the latter subsequently became standard terms.
