<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.
