Rapid application development focuses on developing software fast. It achieves this by facilitating quick prototyping. In rapid application development, functional prototypes are shipped quickly, with changing requirements implemented incrementally in each iteration. Rapid application development also provides visual development tools, such as drag-and-drop application builders, which accelerate application development by minimizing the coding required.
Rapid application development tools are specialized software intended to accelerate the pace of digital transformation and application development. They empower users to accomplish more in less time when compared with conventional application development approaches. Rapid application development tools empower any type of application developer, be it a line-of-business user with little to no programming knowledge or full-fledged IT teams.
Many conventional software development methods, like the waterfall model, are too time-consuming. In today's agile environment, most organizations need to ship quality software quickly. An agile solution, like a rapid application development tool, facilitates seamless and rapid business process automation.
The tangible benefits of a rapid application development tool include:
Drag-and-drop builders empower stakeholders to develop applications using a compartmentalized approach. These builders also eliminate the need for programming applications and automations from scratch.
Rapid application development tools should be easy to learn and have a short learning curve to enable users to automate business processes, create workflows, and build applications with minimal education about how the platform works under the hood.
Rapid application development tools should have the ability to deliver quick prototypes, accelerating the time to market by up to 10 times when compared with conventional methods.
Rapid application development tools should be affordable. Compare this with conventional approaches, which often require a huge upfront investment, and additional costs that accrue due to protracted release cycles.
Complex applications require custom logic implementation as a part of the development process, which usually requires complex programming languages. It is often time-consuming to program applications, and it typically requires the expertise of expensive programmers. AppCreator makes this process easier by providing a user-friendly scripting language called Deluge. Deluge is easy to learn and makes it easy to implement complex logic since it has syntax similar to English. With no complicated programming required, AppCreator ensures custom application development is a breeze.
Drag-and-drop builders empower stakeholders to develop applications using a compartmentalized approach. These builders also eliminate the need for programming applications and automations from scratch.
Conventional application development methods take months to convert prototypes into working applications. AppCreator reduces the time it takes to deploy fully functional, enterprise-grade applications to only hours or days.
AppCreator empowers the various types of users involved in application development, including:
Line-of-business users, enabling them to develop their own applications by using the drag-and-drop builders. This reduces their dependence on often overworked IT teams.
Professional developers, who will gain access to powerful rapid application development tools such as a drag-and-drop integrated development environment (IDE), which allows them to develop prototypes and deploy fully functional enterprise-grade applications in a fraction of the time when compared with traditional methods.
Business processes can be manual and repetitive. AppCreator offers a point-and-click workflow builder which allows you to quickly automate your organization's repetitive business processes and reduce turnaround times.
AppCreator follows the "develop once, deploy anywhere" philosophy. You only need to develop applications on the platform once. Then, when you deploy them, they are instantly published on the web and on mobile platforms. This saves you from the time-consuming process of developing, testing, and deploying your applications separately for each platform.
AppCreator offers a slew of developer tools, such as a sandbox, a schema builder, and an application IDE, as well as features like logs and widgets. These developer tools empower your organization's application developers, enabling them to architect and deploy high-powered applications with ease.
AppCreator is equipped with several enterprise-grade features, each designed to help you create powerful applications with ease. These features include:
With these, users of the platform are empowered to create feature-rich applications.
