What is Rapid Application Development (RAD) ?

We are always discussing enormous process models to develop cost-effective, error-free software process models like waterfall,spiral,protyping,RUP etc in software engineering. But today RAD becomes a prominent place among them. I will learn this more advance in our next semester. This is only a introduction.
 
 
 
 
 RAD(rapid application development) is a concept that products can be developed faster and of higher quality through,
  • The re-use of software components.
  • Less formality in reviews and other team communication.
  • A rigidly paced schedule that defers design improvements to the next product version.
Some companies offer products that provide some or all of the tools for RAD software development. (The concept can be applied to hardware development as well.) These products include requirements gathering tools, prototyping tools, computer-aided software engineering tools, language development environments such as those for the Java platform, groupware for communication among development members, and testing tools.
The most popular object-oriented programming languages, C++ and Java, are offered in visual programming packages often described as providing rapid application development.
