If you are in search of a faster, more effective mode of application development, you will need something more consistent and less prone to recurring iterations. And, if you don’t want to restart the development process from the beginning whenever a client suggests modifications, consider the Rapid Application Development (RAD). Let’s dive into this software development process, and how Delta Data Mandiri is using it for creating hybrid mobile applications in Indonesia.
Rapid Application Development: An Overview
Rapid App Development is an agile software development process that involves continual iterations and prototype releases. Unline other development methods such as the Waterfall Method, RAD focuses on utilizing feedback and software for planning and meeting the requirements.
Benefits of Rapid Application Development
- Improved adaptability and flexibility due to seamless adjustments
- Easy and quick iterations that contribute to faster delivery
- Encourages code reuse, which reduces the need for manual coding, thereby reducing testing times and errors
- Enhanced customer satisfaction resulting from increased coordination between teams, stakeholders, and clients
- Improved risk management due to streamlined discussion and addressing of drawbacks and vulnerabilities.
Development model of Delta Data Mandiri
Here is a quick overview of the rapid application development Indonesia model we use at Delta Data Mandiri.
- Determine and finalize project requirements: This step includes a meeting with the stakeholders for defining and completing the requirements for a project, including goals, budget, timelines, and expectations.
- Development of prototypes: Developers and designers work closely with the clients to build and improve the working prototypes until the final product is developed.
- User feedback: The working prototypes and beta systems are transformed into working models and provided to the users to gather feedback and make necessary changes.
- Testing and improving: This phase includes excessive testing and improvements of the product to ensure all its parts are performing as per the client’s expectations.
- Presentation: Just before the product is launched, user conversion and data training are presented.
Wrapping it up
Rapid app development has been around for a while but is still popular and widely used among software companies that are looking to adopt agile methodologies. The primary objective of the RAD approach is to make necessary changes and improvements in the product with the development pace, not slowing down, which guarantees a quick but precise product delivery.
