Rapid application development is an agile software development approach that focuses more on ongoing software projects and user feedback following a dynamic plan. As such, it emphasizes rapid prototyping over costly planning which consumes longer time as well. Though often mistaken for a specific model, rapid application development (RAD) is the idea that we benefit by treating our software projects like clay, rather than steel, which is how traditional development practices treat them. RAD is the best SDLC process for the customers who want their requirements developed at an effective cost range with less time.
With only 4 stages below is how RAD model development works.
1. Define Requirements
Rather than making you spend months developing specifications with users, RAD begins by defining a flexible set of requirements. We say flexible because among the key principles of rapid application development is the permission to change requirements at any point in the cycle.
2. Prototype
In this rapid application development phase, the developer’s goal is to build something that they can demonstrate to the client. This can be a prototype that satisfies all or only a portion of requirements (as in early-stage prototyping).
3. Absorb Feedback
With a recent prototype prepared, RAD developers present their work to the client or end-users. They collect feedback on everything from interface to functionality—it is here where product requirements might come under scrutiny.
4. Finalize Product
During this stage, developers may optimize or even re-engineer their implementation to improve stability, maintainability, and a third word ending in ‘-ility.’ They may also spend this phase connecting the back-end to production data, writing thorough documentation, and doing any other maintenance tasks required before handing the product over with confidence.
