B.Tech. Degree Programme Computer Science & Engineering

B.Tech. Computer Science & Engineering (Regular)OBJECTIVEThe course on RAD focuses on building applicationswithin a very short time period. After successfulcompletion of this course the students will be able toobtain a firm foundation on RAD concepts andmethodologies and acquire sufficient workingknowledge in RAD tools.PRE-REQUISITESKnowledge of programming in C, C++, JAVA1. INTRODUCTION TO RAPID APPLICATIONDEVELOPMENT: Definition, history; effect ofmistakes on development schedule; importance;modern rapid life cycle model; modern RAD.2. ISSUE IN RAPID APPLICATIONDEVELOPMENT: Characteristics; strategy;constraints; advantages and disadvantages;customer oriented development; different RADtools: open source versus licensed softwarebuilder; Easy Eclipse, Net Beans, Anjuta, Glade,Visual Studio .Net, etc.3. RAPID APPLICATION DEVELOPMENTPROJECT ESTIMATION: Estimation processes;size estimation; effort estimation; scheduleestimation; estimation refinement.4. SCHEDULING A RAPID APPLICATIONDEVELOPMENT PROJECT: overlay optimisticscheduling, schedule pressure: beating schedulepressure; invent option for mutual option.5. TEAM WORK: Importance to RAD; effective teambuilding; reason for failure; long term team buildingteam structure.6. RAPID APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT BESTPRACTICES: Daily build & smoke test; Agilemethods, reuse; miniature milestones; throwawayprototyping; goal setting; managing out sourcedprojects; developing full Project using RAD.7. APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT: Installing aFOSS based IDE; configuration; GUI building,integrating application with a database; XML; webbased application development; debugging.TEXT BOOKMcConnell Steve, “Rapid Development”, WB Publishersand Distributers, 1996REFERENCE BOOKS1.
