Rule Definition
Cohesiveness of methods within a Class is desirable, since it promotes encapsulation. Low cohesion increases complexity, thereby increasing the likelihood of errors during the development process.
Remediation
Lack of cohesion implies Classes should probably be split into two or more sub/classes.
