Episode Synopsis

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💻 More from us:📘 Kill All Bugs: Learn Software Testing in 1 Day → https://testingin1day.com🎙️ CTSS Academy Podcast (Available on all platforms under CTSS Academy)🔖 Hashtags:#RADModel #SDLC #SoftwareDevelopment #CTSSAcademy #RapidDevelopment #Prototyping #TechPodcast
