New wave of rapid application development platforms promise to enable creation of a fully functioning business application without writing a single line of code.\r\n\r\n<h2>Era of low-code programming<\/h2>\r\n\r\nLow-code business application development systems is the latest trend on the app development market. They let business users and non-technical developers create applications they need for daily use with no IT skills required and no coding in order to drive individual and team productivity. These platforms cover the entire cycle of creating a business application for process, workflow, project and task management.\r\n<br><br>\r\nMajor advantage is that low-code <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cmwlab.com\/platform\/\">business application development platform<\/a> provide a very broad functionality that replace hand coding methods with declarative programming tools. It includes visual drag-and-drop user interface that allows creating forms for data capture, personalized portals, setting workflows for work automation and much more. Besides, it is processes modelers and designers to add and edit objects and forms, as well as other tools to work with unstructured collaboration, ad hoc processes and tasks. We will discuss more detailed how declarative tools affect your business in our further publications.\r\n\r\n<h2>Consider risks<\/h2>\r\n\r\nRapid application development platforms seem to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cmwlab.com\/blog\/rapid-application-development-platform\/\">give the opportunity<\/a> to create applications for any business need. However, multiple risks and questions come along low-code programming, that include following:\r\n<br><br>\r\n<ul style=\"margin-left: 35px;\">\r\n \t<li>Is it possible to avoid hand coding at all?<\/li>\r\n \t<li>How comprehensive are the functional capabilities?<\/li>\r\n \t<li>How well the app will function on mobile devices?<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<br>\r\nFor now, mostly all of the questions are subject for future discussions and constant app testing. Except them, there are inevitable features that need to be reviewed carefully every time we talk about low-code programming. They include:\r\n<br><br>\r\n<ol style=\"margin-left: 35px;\">\r\n \t<li>Security \u2013 unified security needs to be provided for all developed apps in order to prevent data loss or unauthorized app usage;<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Application consistency \u2013 proper analysis needs to be made before setting up an application to make sure its functionality won\u2019t be a duplicate of the existing ones;<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Integrations \u2013 that are the most complicated part of any app development. Unpredictable moments that need hand coding may occur on any business process step. Open API\u2019s are required in order to ensure seamless data exchange and process flow.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<br>\r\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"3836\"  src=\"https:\/\/www.cmwlab.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/low-code-application-development-risks.jpg\" alt=\"low code application development risks\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-3836\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cmwlab.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/low-code-application-development-risks.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.cmwlab.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/low-code-application-development-risks-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cmwlab.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/low-code-application-development-risks-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.cmwlab.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/low-code-application-development-risks-120x120.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/>\r\n<br><br>\r\nA few years ago, development of applications with minimal coding was hardly possible to imagine, but evolution of IT systems runs fast and idea of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cmwlab.com\/blog\/low-code-development-platform\/\">low-code development<\/a> slowly but steady moves from myth to reality.
