What are the features of app creation software and what is it used for?

Question

I am just needing help with this question above, I have researched online but seem to get lost. 

Answer 1

Well software development tools or RAD (rapid application development) tools 

have features which include, but are not limited to:

 

(1) debugger

(2) full screen editor

(3) toolboxes for creating, placing, and configuring 

     GUI components on the form or window such

     as text boxes, scroll bars, option buttons, check boxes,

     labels, list boxes, etc

(4) incorporation of other 3rd party tools

(5) event trapping and programming the application

     to respond to windows events like button clicks,

     timed events, internet messaging, and other

     types of windows events

(6) access to databases with little or no coding required

(7) access to web servers and client server caabilities

     with little or no coding required

(8) tons of online documentation

 

Robust applications can be developed very quickly using these tools
