These complementary methods has been derived to satisfy the nature of software development, for example, if there’s a requirement to develop a software quickly, then we can go for RAD, that is Rapid Application Development which removes some of the software design phases which are of less importance. This method is used where rapid deployment of small software is needed. This method is not so effective for big software projects where small error may lead to failure of whole software product.

Complementary Software development methods to Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC) are:
  • Software Prototyping
  • Joint Applications Design (JAD)
  • Rapid Application Development (RAD)
  • Extreme Programming (XP); extension of earlier work in Prototyping and RAD.
  • Open Source Development
  • End-user development
  • Object Oriented Programming
As a part of software engineering, Software Development has been facilitating the society with providing automation and thus accuracy and promptness in day-to-day life.
