3 Emerging Trends In Software Development

The pandemic has continued to drive change even though software development practices took a massive hit due to rapid shifts in modes of working. In the near future, a practice that is currently thought to be appropriate in software development might no longer be so. When building an application or product, startup founders must be aware of the direction of trends in the software industry. For instance, demand for low-code development platforms is rising, and by 2026, market revenue is anticipated to reach $46.4 billion.

This is just one development in the making. There are so many more enigmatic developments taking place that it is hard to grasp which one will make it to the top. In this blog, we’ve zoomed in on the 3 best emerging trends in software development. Let’s dive right into it:

• Low-code Development: By reducing the amount of coding required, the low-code approach to software development enables collaboration between tech and business professionals and faster delivery of digitally transformational solutions. In more detail, low-code significantly eliminates the requirement for writing bespoke code by using a set of ready-to-use UI components, boilerplate scripts and integrations, solution blueprints, visual workflow automation tools, and other user-friendly features. Low-code platforms combine these characteristics with other cutting-edge technologies for application lifecycle management, low-code governance, security, and AI/ML decisioning to provide the ideal environment for digital advances in enterprise-grade application development.
• Flexible Operations: Operational flexibility is all the rage in today’s dynamic industries. It leverages higher performance and productivity levels and brings in greater business outcomes. For software developers to have the flexibility and freedom to unleash their creative sides and experiment with out-of-the-box ideas is crucial to driving unhindered success. This, as we’ll see, will be at the forefront in 2023.
• Hybrid Working Models: The pandemic might have come to an end but the urge for employees to work remotely and strike a work-life balance hasn’t. Developers who work remotely have been found to have greater mental and physical well-being along with higher productivity and creativity levels. To reap these benefits, we’ll find a lot of businesses resorting to hybrid workspaces in 2023.

Conclusion:

These three trends are just the tip of the iceberg. Outsourcing and agile software development will too see a massive influx of adopters in 2023 who want to make the most out of their limited talent and resource pools.
