Rapid Application Development
<programming> (RAD) A loose term for any software life-cycle designed to
give faster development and better results and to take maximum advantage of
recent advances in development software.
RAD is associated with a wide range of approaches to software development: from
hacking away in a GUI builder with little in the way of analysis and design to
complete methodologies expanding on an information engineering framework.
Some of the current RAD techniques are: CASE tools, iterative life-cycles,
prototyping, workshops, SWAT teams, timebox development, and Re-use of
applications, templates and code.
RAD at BSO/Den Haag.
