RAD has various meanings in the Computing category. Discover the full forms, definitions, and usage contexts of RAD in Computing.
Rapid application development (RAD) is a software development methodology that uses minimal planning in favor of rapid prototyping. The "planning" of software developed using RAD is interleaved with writing the software itself. The lack of extensive pre-planning generally allows software to be written much faster, and makes it easier to change requirements. Graphical user interface builders are often called rapid application development tools.
