Abstract
This paper will discuss the development of low code and no code application and the technologies that empower their application. The effects of these platforms on software development, particularly to PD and CD, will be discussed in this paper. The paper will identify specific trends, difficulties, and issues that have not been solved in this field. Low code and no code platforms are trending in today’s world of software development [1]. These platforms are dissimilar to the orthodox software development paradigms inasmuch as they allow the creation of application using graphic user interfaces and configurations with a little amount of hand-made, conventional programming code. Thus, more customers with low programming abilities are associated with the creation of software. This results in shorter development cycles and costs, as well as; increased variety of applications. Over the past decade, certain transformations occurred in the sphere of modern software development, primarily due to the development of low code and no-code environments. These platforms allow software construction through GUI and settings combined with a relatively small portion of hand-made, traditional, imperative code [1,2]. Consequently, other than the experienced personnel who code, several more stakeholders participate in the development of software. This results in shorter times and lower costs for product development as well as in a diversification of application portfolios. Gartner defined that a no-code development platform is a tool that allows the creation of application software by using elaborate graphical user interfaces and configurations. This environment isolates developers from other intricate aspects of software development, which includes actual code or the substructure on which the software is built. A low code development platform is somewhat similar but offers somewhere for the coder to code a little and provide for moderately complicated decision making. Due to the complexity of the topics and the limitation of space for this paper, the terms low-code platforms and low-code tools shall be taken to mean one and the same throughout this paper.
