The document discusses dependency injection and loose coupling in Java applications. It describes how tightly coupling the Lecture class to the ScoreRepository class caused testability and dependency issues. To address this, the document suggests using dependency injection by modifying the Lecture constructor to accept the dependencies rather than creating them internally. This loosens the coupling and allows mocking dependencies for testing. It provides an example using Mockito to mock the ScoreRepository and test grading behavior without depending on the real implementation or external services.
