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, SWATteams, timebox development, and Re-use of applications,

templates and code.

RAD at BSO/Den Haag.
