All Implemented Interfaces:

JavaParserVisitor, ImmutableLanguage, PropertySource, Rule

public class CouplingBetweenObjectsRule
extends AbstractJavaRule

CouplingBetweenObjects attempts to capture all unique Class attributes, local variables, and return types to determine how many objects a class is coupled to. This is only a gauge and isn't a hard and fast rule. The threshold value is configurable and should be determined accordingly
