Course Objectives
Rapid application development (RAD) refers to a type of software development methodology that uses minimal planning in favor of rapid prototyping while mainiting high quality. Course objectives are:
1- Provide a unified overview over the basic principles of RAD.
2- Discuss the core issues of RAD.
3- Discuss OO refactoring Principles.
4- Enable students to develop small to medium projects using RAD principles.
Course Content
Overview of the base language of a Rapid Application Development (RAD) tool; object definitions, methods, properties, inheritance. Form design using visual components Application development using the libraries of an industry standard RAD tool.
Course Learning Outcomes
After finishing the course, student should demonstrate the following skills:
1- Ability to differentiate between different RAD dimensions and their impact on project schedule.
2- Ability to estimate project effort, schedule, team size, and cost using various estimation techniques such as stroy points, FPA and COCOMO1, taking into consideration the different schedule risks.
3- Ability to apply RAD principles during application design and development adopting evolutionary prototyping lifecycle planning approach.
