No-code development platform
Software development system From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
No-code development platforms (NCDPs) allow creating application software through graphical user interfaces and configuration instead of traditional computer programming based on writing code.
As with low-code development platforms, it is meant to expedite application development,[1] but unlike low-code, no-code development involves no code writing. This is usually done by offering prebuilt templates for building apps.[2] In the 2010s, both of these types of platforms increased in popularity as companies dealt with a limited supply of competent software developers.[3]
No-code development is closely related to visual programming languages.[4]
Use
No-code tools are often designed with line of business users in mind as opposed to traditional IT.
The potential benefits of using a NCDP include:
- Agility - NCDPs typically provide some degree of templated user-interface and user experience functionality for common needs such as forms, workflows, and data display allowing creators to expedite parts of the app creation process.[5]
- Richness - NCDPs which at one point were limited to more basic application functions increasingly provide a level of feature-richness and integrations that allows users to design, develop, and deploy apps that meet specific business needs.[6]
Future of workflow automation
No-code platforms are reshaping software development by democratizing access to automation and application building. As AI-driven automation advances, no-code solutions are expected to handle more sophisticated workflows, reducing reliance on traditional coding. This shift fosters innovation across industries, making software creation more accessible to businesses and individuals alike.[7]
