RAD (RAPID APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT) MODEL
It is an incremental model that emphasizes an extremely short development cycle (60-90 days). We first divided the whole project into different independent deliveries which can be developed in a linear trend alone. CHARACTERISTICS: It uses component-based construction. Uses multiple teams on a scalable project. Needs good planning and design. It first gets broken down and built independently. ADVANTAGES: Develops software in very less amount of time. It is very time-conservative. Cretes effective and reliable software. Suitable for small and low-risk projects. DISADVANTAGES: It requires heavy resources. Heavily committed developers and customers are needed. Performance can be a problem. Difficult to use new technologies. download notes
