The Full Form of TOAD is‍ Tools for Oracle Application Development.

Tens of thousands of the most successful companies worldwide use Oracle’s development tools and base their applications on Oracle Application Development Framework (Oracle ADF) so they can rapidly develop and maintain their critical business applications. Oracle’s development tools also form the basis of Oracle Fusion Applications. The key development centers outside of Silicon Valley include Burlington, Massachusetts; Denver, Colorado; and Reading, UK. Across these centers, developers work on many areas of development and research. For example, we work on the Oracle IDE family, which includes three distinct Java-based development tools: Oracle JDeveloper, NetBeans, and Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse. Oracle ADF is a unique Java EE framework that makes Enterprise Java and service-oriented development accessible to the broader application development community. Oracle ADF is used by many large corporations and is the cornerstone of Oracle Fusion Architecture.
