Title: Common Misconceptions About the Rapid Application Development Software


1
Common Misconceptions
About the Rapid Application Development Software
2
  • Rapid Software Development is for Creating
    Small-Scale Applications Only
  • People tend to believe that the RAD platform is
    best suited for building minimally-coded software
    applications and is designed to handle smaller
    applications.
  • In actuality, a RAD platform can be useful for
    building both smaller and larger applications.
  • RAD Tools are for Advanced Developers Only
  • Some people strongly believe that RAD platforms
    are for expert developers since they have the
    right skillset to work with RAD platforms.
  • The platforms drag and drop functionality allow
    users to drag and drop symbols around the visual
    development interface thereby, creating an
    application where little or no coding is
    required.
  • Therefore, both professional developers and
    business users are able to develop apps in less
    time and with minimal technical skills.

  • RAD Software Development is for Start-ups Only
  • Some people believe that RAD platforms are for
    startups and not for big organizations.
  • But in actuality, big organizations do use RAD
    platforms and derive ample benefits from it.
  • RAD can be Used for Mobile App Development Only
  • A robust RAD platform allows developers to build
    apps simultaneously for multiple platforms.
  • Developers are able to build, test, and deploy an
    app for several platforms in a much less time as
    compared to manual coding.
  • These features have convinced businesses to use
    RAD platforms for both web and mobile app
    development.

4
  • RAD Platforms cannot Support Multiple Features
  • Some believe that RAD platforms may not support a
    host of features while there are others that
    believe that RAD platforms allow developers to
    build apps that are rich in functionality.
  • Some RAD platforms also allow users to customize
    features to suit business and stakeholder needs.
  • In general, RAD platforms successfully handle
    complex updates, fixes bugs periodically and
    integrates data from third-party Saap apps.
  • You cannot Create Sterling UI/UX using RAD Tools
  • Some developers are of the opinion that RAD
    platforms do not support UI/UX components and
    creating UI /UX is possible only with traditional
    methods.
  • Such is not the case, however, since UI/ UX can
    be built with RAD platforms.

5
  • It Takes Time to Build Big Apps
  • Modern low-code RAD platforms with its minimal
    coding requirement, visual drag and drop
    functionality and real-time prototyping,
    streamlines and accelerates the app delivery
    process thereby allowing developers to build big
    complex apps faster.
  • RAD Applications cannot be Integrated with Other
    Business Tools
  • Enterprise data exists in disparate systems such
    as proprietary enterprise systems and APIs from
    external entities. This makes data integration a
    time-consuming process.
  • Low-code RAD platforms with its visual approach
    allow developers to connect to the disparate data
    systems and embed and configure data elements
    directly into the application eventually closing
    the integration gap.
  • Rapid Application Development will Steal the Job
    of the Developer
  • Professional developers consider RAD platforms to
    be a threat to their job security.
  • Users utilizing RAD platforms do not need to know
    any specific language or possess specialized
    skills.
  • Developers with varying skill levels and
    non-technical business users can build their own
    prototypes with RAD platforms.

6
  • You will Need Expert Intervention for
    Professional Security and Database Design
  • Professional apps built using traditional methods
    are likely to have top-notch security features
    and appropriate database design.
  • Developers using low-code RAD platforms are often
    skeptical about achieving the same level of
    professional security and database design.
  • But RAD platforms usually come with new
    technologies such as the drag-and-drop
    functionality, automatic table creations, and
    configurable security features.
  • If you can Code, you Should Always Code Instead
    of Using RAD Platforms
  • The platform allows skilled developers to create
    add-ons, plugins and other relevant components
    when building apps.
