I am not an expert but I believe I can address the coupling question. In design, one generally adopts a divide and conquer strategy whereby the problem is solved through a set of cooperating elements that interact with one another. One sign of a good design is that the interactions required between these elements are as few as possible. Why do we want this? Consider elements A and B that interact with one another. If we want to replace A with a new version, the amount of rework to A and to B to ensure that they still interact properly is reduced if the "interface" or "coupling" between A and B is as simple as possible.
Coupling within a software system is the degree to which to which each module relies on other modules cohesion is the measure of a sub systems internal interdependence
Coupling and coherence are measured using various metrics in software engineering. Coupling refers to the degree of interdependence between modules, often assessed through metrics like the number of dependencies or the strength of interactions between components. Coherence, on the other hand, reflects how closely related the responsibilities of a module are, typically measured by cohesion metrics such as the Lack of Cohesion in Methods (LCOM) or by evaluating the module's functional similarity. Together, these metrics help assess the quality and maintainability of software systems.

There are many like flexible coupling, jaw coupling, sleeve coupling, tire coupling, pin and bush coupling, rigid coupling, etc
no.transformer coupling gives higher gain
coupling is a computer program, which is meant for the maintenance of the cohesion , coupling is inversely proportional to cohesion. When coupling and cohesion is combined then it acts as support to the high readability and maintainability of a computer program.

There should be low dependence and high interaction between the modules. The dependence should be low so that the module can work in absence of another module. So, there should be low coupling ad high cohesion in software design.

Unit test can be done within a single module Cohesion of a single module/component is the degree to which its responsibilities form a meaningful unit; higher cohesion is better. Someone had vague reference to decomposability here. Clarification? How about: 'Cohesion is inversely proportional to the number of responsibilities a module/component has.' Coupling between modules/components is their degree of mutual interdependence; lower coupling is better. size: number of connections between routines intimacy: the directness of the connection between routines visibility: the prominence of the connection between routines flexibility: the ease of changing the connections between routines A first-order principle of software architecture is to increase cohesion and reduce coupling. so having coupling in program is not correct reduce coupling in your program it will favour Unit testing......
