One section covers the ability of multi layer neuron perceptron model for prediction of faulty classes and in other section we have proposed and validated a statistical model for confidentiality using data set of dif-ferent releases of apache velocity project so as to quantify the effects of coupling on confidentiality of system. There are two major section of this paper.

This research work done quantitatively, describes the ability of object oriented coupling metrics to predict faulty classes. It is to insure that information leakage is minimal (if not zero as is desired theoretically). Thus from a software developer’s point of view, we must provide so much security at design time that no one outside the system should be able to access in unauthorized way. A highly coupled design degrades the ability of software to defend against exploitation. An external process when takes or try to take the control of the system will be assisted in its action if the underlying system is highly coupled. The coupling or aggregation binds together the different entities or components within the system.
