Rapid Application Development Guide

RAD (Rapid Application Development) is an incremental model that develops software components in parallel to reduce development time. It has four phases: requirements planning to discuss business needs and system requirements; user design where users interact with a software model; construction for programming, coding, and testing; and cutover for data conversion, testing, and deployment. RAD allows for greater customer satisfaction through continuous user involvement and produces higher quality software through incremental development.

WHAT IS RAD?
RAD MODEL IS RAPID APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT MODEL.

IT IS A TYPE OF INCREMENTAL MODEL.

IN RAD THE COMPONENTS ARE DEVELOPED IN PARALLEL


MANNER.

IT IS A FASTER SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS.

RAD MODEL

PHASES IN RAD
Requirements Planning phase

User design phase

Construction phase

Cutover phase

RAD MODEL

1. Requirements Planning phase

Users, managers, and IT staff members discuss on Business needs.


They discuss on System requirements.
They also discuss on Project scope
It decide who will generate software.
It tells what software will do.

RAD MODEL

2. User design phase


It is also called as Modeling phase.

User Designphase is a continuous interactive process.

During this phase, users interact with software model.


It allows users to understand, modify the System.

It approve a working model of the system that meets


their needs.

RAD MODEL

3. Construction phase
Focuses on program and application development task.
Tasks are
*
*
*
*

Programming and application development,


Coding,
Unit-integration and
System testing.

RAD MODEL

4. Cutover phase
It is the final ( Phase ) tasks in the System Development
Life Cycle (SDLC).
Its tasks are
* Data conversion,
* Full-scale testing,
* System change over,
* User training.

In this phase the new system is built, and delivered.

Advantages

Disadvantages

RAD reduces the development time. Requires highly skilled


developers/designers.
Increases reusability of
components.

RAD is not appropriate when technical


risk are high.

Greater Customer Satisfaction.

Cant use for small projects.

Simple and Better Quality.

Absence of reusable component can lead


to failure of the project.
