  Rapid Application Development
  
     <programming> (RAD) A loose term for any software life-cycle
     designed to give faster development and better results and to
     take maximum advantage of recent advances in development
     software.
  
     RAD is associated with a wide range of approaches to software
     development: from hacking away in a GUI builder with little
     in the way of analysis and design to complete methodologies
     expanding on an information engineering framework.
  
     Some of the current RAD techniques are: CASE tools,
     iterative life-cycles, prototyping, workshops, SWAT teams
     , timebox development, and Re-use of applications,
     templates and code.
