Question

In the rapid application development (RAD) model, the _____ phase focuses on program and application development tasks similar to the SDLC.A) requirements planningB) user designC) constructionD) cutover

Answer 1

Answer:

C) construction

Explanation:

Rapid application development abbreviated RAD is an agile software development strategy that reduces time spent on planning so that prototype development takes priority and project turnaround time is greatly reduced consequently. There are four phases in rapid application development :

requirements planning, user design, construction, cutover

The construction phase is the third stage in rapid application development. This stage builds on the progress of the previous stages- the requirements planning stage and user design stage- to go ahead to finalize the application development which has been agreed on through iterations and communication between developer and client in the user design stage. In other words, this stage basically takes the ideas, prototypes and beta products from the previous stages and makes it into a real final product. The rationale or perks behind this is that other problems such as what product would do or look like or any changes or modifications have been worked out in previous stages thereby speeding up development in this stage.
