The process model that is used by QR based Attendance project is known as RAD (Rapid
Application Development) Model. The RAD (Rapid Application Development) model is based
on prototyping and iterative development with no specific planning involved. The process of
writing the software itself involves the planning required for developing the product.
Rapid Application Development focuses on gathering customer requirements through workshops
or focus groups, early testing of the prototypes by the customer using iterative concept, reuse of
the existing prototypes (components), continuous integration and rapid delivery.
RAD model can be applied successfully to the projects in which clear modularization is possible.
If the project cannot be broken into modules, RAD may fail.
The applications of RAD are as follows −
• RAD should be used only when a system can be modularized to be delivered in an
incremental manner.
• It should be used if there is a high availability of designers for Modelling.
• It should be used only if the budget permits use of automated code generating tools.
• RAD SDLC model should be chosen only if domain experts are available with relevant
business knowledge.
The advantages of the RAD Model are as follows −
• Changing requirements can be accommodated.
• Progress can be measured.
• Iteration time can be short with use of powerful RAD tools.
• Productivity with fewer people in a short time.
• Reduced development time.
• Increases reusability of components.
• Quick initial reviews occur.
• Encourages customer feedback.
• Integration from very beginning solves a lot of integration issues.
Conclusion: Thus, applied at least two traditional process models on multiple projects.
