Study Notes
RAD Historical Background
- James Martin, a prominent software developer, introduced the RAD (Rapid Application Development) model in the 1980s.
- He aimed to provide a more efficient alternative to the traditional Waterfall model that was commonly used at the time.
- Martin envisioned RAD as a faster method that could adapt to changing requirements and deliver software solutions more quickly.
- RAD's core concept was iterative development, emphasizing the rapid creation of prototypes and their refinement based on user feedback.
Background of the Study
- RAD is a software development process that emphasizes rapid and iterative release cycles.
- It's designed to deliver operational software in shorter time frames compared to more traditional methodologies like the Waterfall model.
- RAD prioritizes flexibility and responsiveness to evolving user feedback and changing requirements.
Definition
- Rapid Application Development (RAD) refers to a software development approach that prioritizes rapid prototyping and minimal upfront planning.
- It primarily focuses on creating applications within a short time frame, known as a Timebox.
