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, but unlike low-code, no-code development involves no code writing. This is usually done by offering prebuilt templates for building apps. In the 2010s, both of these types of platforms increased in popularity as companies dealt with a limited supply of competent software developers.

No-code development is closely related to visual programming languages.

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.
  • 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.
