Abstract :
There are levels of coupling and cohesion between classes in object oriented systems as well as between modules. Low module coupling is one of the quantifying the module coupling. The degree of coupling is a measure of the software quality. So far, several studies have been done on quantifying the module coupling and relating the results to effective software design process, in this article, we propose new some coupling such as import call coupling, import scalar coupling, import stamp coupling, import tramp coupling, export call coupling, export scalar coupling, export tramp coupling, and export stamp coupling and try to develop a software system for visualization of the module coupling. Module coupling visualization can help programmers to see bottlenecks in their design and re-engineer it for improvement
