5.A ) WHAT IS RAD ?
RAD stands for - Rapid Application Development .A development life cycle
designed to give much faster and higher quality results than the traditional
life-cycles and at a lower cost
5.B) WHY RAD?
Other methodologies delivers solutions which :become obsolete by the time
they are operational. Does not take into account how the developed system is
going to interface with the pre-existing business system. Analysis
documentation in most solutions project is not sufficiently precise to be
used as basis for code documentation. This leads to constant rework in
design and coding. Users don't quite realize what they will get until its
too late!!
5.C) WHAT ARE THE STAGES IN RAD ?
* Joint Requirement Planning (JRP)Phase: workshops in which knowledgeable
end users meet development people are held.
* Joint Application Development (JAD) Phase:
* Workshops which outline the design of the system and build prototypes in
consultation with end users are held.
* Construction Phase: small team of developers working with users' design &
build the systems. Simultaneously fine tunes the requirements and reviews
the resulting software.
* Implementation Phase
5.D) LOW COST of RAD
Low Cost comes from early detection and rectification of errors.
5.E) HIGH SPEED of RAD
High Speed Comes From:
* Use of CASE toolset
