Coherent dependence clusters

Large clusters of mutual dependence can cause problems for comprehension, testing and maintenance. This paper introduces the concept of coherent dependence clusters, techniques for their efficient identification, visualizations to better understand them, and empirical results concerning their practical significance. As the paper will show, coherent dependence clusters facilitate a fine grained analysis of the subtle relationships between clusters of dependence.
