What types of Apps are best suited for RAD delivery?

Below are the types the RAD delevery.

Knowing the RAD Concept

Due to the growing frustration surrounding the old methods of application development, that consumed havoc development time, the concept of Rapid Application Development platform emerged. James Martin, a British information technology consultant and author, first coined the idea, who also went on to come up with a new methodology known as Rapid Iterative Production Prototyping (RIPP) with the help of his colleagues. The Rapid Application Development methodology is based on an iterative development process, which is also referred to as an agile approach. The concept is a complete contrast to the traditional waterfall development method.

Gaps in the Existing Frameworks

Today, the average expected period for an application development is 16-24 weeks. In case of complex apps, it could take more. Keeping the evolving rate of technology in mind, taking this much time for app development turns out to non-profitable for businesses. Further, the development processes still seem to run on legacy tracks despite being modernized by incorporating open source framework. The latest developments came as a response to the old techniques being incompetent to meet the new requirements.

So, what’s the solution?

Let’s briefly talk about how the RAD platform eases the development process:

Robust Platform

Owing to the robustness of the platform, the workflow is streamlined significantly. The platform creates the ability to rapidly cater to iterations on request instead of hacking through the underlying code and messing with the framework of an application.

Simplifies Complex Applications

Business applications generally call for several types of databases to be integrated into one application. Rapid Application Development platform is capable of handling a wider number of integrations in a smooth manner; even the concerned system updates its structure.

Shorter Delivery Time

With automated deployment and constant integration, production of an application takes less time. Moreover, the whole project is segregated into modules where every module is individually acting upon as prototype. This makes delivery of applications within a short time-frame a reality.

Saves the Developer’s Time and Energy

In the RAD platform, minimum hand coding, drag, and drop feature are some of the reasons why it has become a developer’s best friend. It reduces their burden of work, freeing the otherwise cluttered mind, leaving scope for innovation.

However, rapid application development is suited for the development of all types of applications. Hence, HokuApps has opted for a low code platform when the requirement matches in terms of matching changing requirements from a customer standpoint.
