Rapid Application Development (RAD) Model Explained


Listen Later

In this episode, we explore the RAD (Rapid Application Development) Model in Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC). Learn how this prototyping-focused model accelerates software development by prioritizing rapid construction over detailed planning.


What you’ll learn in this episode:

• Definition and core principles of the RAD Model

• Step-by-step phases: Business Modeling → Data Modeling → Process Modeling → Application Generation → Testing & Turnover

• Ideal use cases: Short-term projects (2–3 months), known requirements, low technical risk, high user involvement

• Advantages: Flexibility, faster delivery, reduced manual coding, early defect detection, higher productivity

• Disadvantages: Not suitable for small projects, requires skilled designers, reduced scalability, limited documentation
