Integrated Information Support System (IISS). Volume 8. User Interface Subsystem. Part 23. Rapid Application Generator and Report Writer Development Specification

Abstract

This specification establishes the development, test, qualification, and performance requirements of a computer program identified as the Rapid Application Generator (RAP). The RAP is one configuration item of the Integrated Information Support System (IISS) User Interface (UI). This Computer Program Configuration Item (CPCI) is used to facilitate development of screen driven interactive programs accessing databases through the Common Data Model (CDM). The major functions of the Rapid Application Generator are: (1) Provide a screen driven interface to database application program; (2) Provide a screen based means of displaying the contents of a database; (3) Provide a context within which a single application program can switch between modes of database access: update, query, deletion, and insertion; and (4) Allow the application developer to apply human engineering to the means by which the user dialogues with the database program.
