Abstract
Rapid Application Development (RAD) is one of the Software Development
Cycle (SDLC) methodologies that are often used by development teams that
prioritize time efficiency. The RAD methodology is considered as one of
the methodologies that has the shortest completion time compared to
other SDLC methodologies. This study aims to validate, update, and
expand the previous discussion regarding the universal conditions of RAD
model research in the world of software feature development. Objectives
can be obtained using a narrative review procedure, which is applied to
previously collected literature. This study aims to make conclusions
about the model of the RAD methodology which is very effective, supports
and constrains the RAD model, and is efficient compared to other
development models. Not only that, this research also guides the
universal stages in SDLC and the RAD methodology used to integrate these
stages.
