What does Rapid Application Development (RAD) involve?

  1. Developing applications with no user feedback

  2. Testing software only in laboratory environments

  3. Using beta testing to allow user feedback to influence added functionality

  4. Writing extensive documentation before coding

The correct answer is: Using beta testing to allow user feedback to influence added functionality

Rapid Application Development (RAD) involves using beta testing to allow user feedback to influence added functionality. This approach emphasizes gathering feedback from end-users throughout the development process, enabling developers to quickly make adjustments based on user input. This iterative feedback loop helps ensure that the final product meets user needs and requirements effectively. Additionally, it promotes user satisfaction and adoption of the application. The other options are not reflective of the RAD methodology: developing applications with no user feedback can lead to low user satisfaction, testing software only in laboratory environments may not capture real-world user experiences adequately, and writing extensive documentation before coding is not characteristic of the agile and iterative RAD approach.
