    Rapid application development (RAD) aims to develop software quickly through a model with phases like business modeling, data modeling, process modeling, application generation, and testing. Business modeling defines information flow. Data modeling refines collected information into entities and attributes. Process modeling transforms data objects to support business functions. Automated tools help build the software. Testing reduces risk through component reuse and interface exercises. RAD requires tools like a case tool, data dictionary, storyboard, and risk register. Advantages include quick reviews, isolation of problems, and flexibility, while disadvantages are lack of planning and need for skilled developers.

    Introduction

     RAD - Rapid application development.


     It is adoption of waterfall model, It aims at
    developing a software in a short span of time.
     It concentrates on input output source and
    destination of information.
     It is based on Model Phases.
    Model Phases
     Business modeling
     Data modeling
     Process modeling
     Application generation
     Testing and turnover
    Business Modeling :
     The information flow among business
    functions is defined by answering
    questions like what information drives the
    business process, what information is
    generated, who generates it, where does
    the information go, who process it and so
    on.
    Data Modeling
     The information collected from business
    modeling is refined into a set of data
    objects (entities) that are needed to
    support the business.
     The attributes (character of each entity)
    are identified and the relation between
    these data objects (entities) is defined.
    Process Modeling
     The data object defined in the data
    modeling phase are transformed to achieve
    the information flow necessary to
    implement a business function.
     Processing descriptions are created for
    adding, modifying, deleting or retrieving a
    data object.
    Application Generation
     Automated tools are used to facilitate
    construction of the software;
     Even they use the 4th GL techniques.
     The term fourth-generation programming
    language (abbreviated 4GL) is better
    understood to be a fourth generation
    environment; packages of systems
    development software including very high
    level programming languages.
    Testing and Turnover
     Many of the programming components
    have already been tested since RAD
    emphasis reuse.
     This reduces overall testing time. But new
    components must be tested and all
    interfaces must be fully exercised.
    RAD Requirements
     Case tool : Computer-aided software
    engineering (CASE) is a set of tools and
    methods to a software system which
    results in high-quality, defect-free, and
    maintainable software products.
     Data dictionary : Is a centralized
    repository of information about data such
    as meaning, relationships to other data,
    origin, usage, and format.
     Storyboard : A storyboard is an area
    where there will be a series of static
    images or sketches that when played in a
    fast sequence, will appear as an animation.

     Risk Register : It acts as a central


    repository for all risks identified by the
    project or organisation and, for each risk,
    includes information such as risk
    probability, impact, counter-measures, risk
    owner and so on.
    Advantages
     Quick initial reviews are possible.
     Constant integration isolate problems
    and encourage customer feedback.
     Flexible and adaptable to changes.
     RAD realizes an overall reduction in
    project risk.
     RAD generally incorporates short
    development cycles - users see the
    RAD product quickly.
    Disadvantage
     Requires a systematic approach for
    modularized.
     Requires highly skilled and well-trained
    developers.
     Product may lose its competitive edge
    because of insufficient core functionality
    and may exhibit poor overall quality.
    Conclusion
     Requires minimal planning in favor of rapid
    prototyping.

     Instead of using codes, developers use


    different tools and software development
    kits and bring them all together to create a
    software.

     Developers who are time challenged could


    use this application development.
     Users’ feedbacks are important in this
    development cycle since they will suggest
    whether the program will fit to their
    specifications and needs.

     Businesses will also appreciate this


    software as it’s aimed to answer specific
    problems.
