No-code development platform
open-in-new
<h2 id="use">Use</h2> <p>No-code tools are often designed with <a href="/facts/Line_of_business/7vxTnGnU">line of business</a> users in mind as opposed to traditional IT. </p><p>The potential benefits of using a NCDP include: </p> <ul><li>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.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:5" href="#fn:5"><sup>5</sup></a></li> <li>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.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:6" href="#fn:6"><sup>6</sup></a></li></ul> <h2 id="future-of-workflow-automation">Future of workflow automation</h2> <p>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.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:7" href="#fn:7"><sup>7</sup></a> </p> <h2 id="see-also">See also</h2> <ul><li><a href="/facts/Flow-based_programming/J4SELXwF">Flow-based programming</a></li> <li><a href="/facts/List_of_online_database_creator_apps/LFwucupU">List of online database creator apps</a></li> <li><a href="/facts/Low-code_development_platforms/JEEGmlVl">Low-code development platforms</a></li> <li><a href="/facts/Rapid_application_development/LX6JuaE4">Rapid application development</a></li> <li><a href="/facts/Lean_software_development/h6hPzjjT">Lean software development</a></li> <li><a href="/facts/Platform_as_a_service/EDX8mcw4">Platform as a service</a></li> <li>Vibe coding</li></ul> <h2 id="external-links">External links</h2> <ul><li>Pattani, Aneri (16 November 2016) <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2016/11/15/a-cloud-app-boom-is-allowing-workers-in-all-jobs-to-become-coding-pros.html">"A coding revolution in the office cube sends message of change to IT"</a>.
