7. RAD Model has
a) 2 phases
b) 3 phase
c) 5 phases
d) 6 phases

Answer:c
Explanation: RAD Model consists of five phases namely:Business modeling,Data modeling,Process modeling,Application generation and Testing & Turnover.

8. What is the major drawback of using RAD Model?
a) Highly specialized & skilled developers/designers are required.
b) Increases re-usability of components.
c) Encourages customer/client feedback.
d) Both a & c.
