Type of applicationwould suit RAD model

Suitability of RAD

The following criteria can be evaluated to determine whether the development would
suit a RAD style:

Project Scope:
                   If the scope is focused and the business objectives are well defined
and narrow, then the project is suitable for RAD. Conversely if the scope of the
business objectives is obscure or broad then the project is unsuitable for RAD.

Project Data:        
                    Data for the project already exists (completely or in part). The project
largely comprises analysis or reporting of the data then the project is suitable for
RAD. However, if the Data is complex and voluminous and therefore must be
analysed, designed and created within the scope of the project, then the project is
unsuitable for RAD.

Project Decisions:
                    If project or development decisions can be made by a small
number of people who are available and, preferably co-located, then it is suitable for
RAD. If many people must be involved in the decisions on the project, the decision
makers are not available on a timely basis or they are geographically dispersed, then
the project is unsuitable for RAD.

Project Team:
                   If the project team is small (preferably six people or fewer) then it is
suitable for RAD; but if the project team is large or there are multiple teams whose
work needs to be coordinated, then it is unsuitable for RAD.

Project Technical Architecture:
                    When the technical architecture is defined and clear and the key technology components are in place and tested, the architecture is
suitable for RAD. Therefore if the technical architecture is unclear and much of the
technology will be used for the first time within the project, then it is unsuitable for
RAD.

Project Technical Requirements:
                   If the project technical requirements (response times, throughput, database sizes, etc) are reasonable and well within the capabilities of the technology being used, then the project is suitable for RAD. In fact targeted performance should be less than 70% of the published limits of the technologies. However if the project technical requirements are tight for the equipment to be used, then the project is unsuitable for RAD.a

Artificial Intelligence 1.    What is AI technique? Artificial  Intelligence (AI)  is  the study  of  how  to make computers do things which, at  the moment, people do better. It is a method that exploits knowledge that should be represented in such a way that: ·    The knowledge captures generalizations. ·    It can be understood by people who must provide it. ·    It can be easily modified to correct errors and to reflect changes. ·    It can be used in situations even if it is not accurate and complete. ·    It helps to narrow the range of possibilities that is has to be considered. 2.    What are the steps to be considered to solve a problem? To solve a particular problem, the following steps are taken into account, ·    Define the problem precisely. ·    Analyze the problem. ·    Isolate and represent the task knowledge that is necessary to solve a problem. ·    Choose the best problem-solving techniques and apply it to a particular problem.

The taxonomy of CASE Tools

CASE Tool Taxonomy CASE tools can be classified by · by function, · by user type (e.g. manager, tester), or · by stage in SE process (e.g. requirements, test) The following taxonomy is classified by function. Business Information Tools model business information flow. The tools represent business data object and model their flow. Network tools could be modified to yield the same functionality. Process Management Tools model processes. You have to understand the process in order to model it. The tools help you capture process. This is a key component of TQI. Project Planning Tools help plan and schedule projects. Examples are PERT and CPM. Finding parallelismand eliminating bottlenecks assist in streamlining projects. Risk Analysis Tools helps build a risk table from the schedule outlining the risk each component of the production process and categorizing the risks as catastrophic, critical, marginal, or negligible. A cost is associated with eac
