Today, a majority of developers report they are either planning on or have already implemented a low-code platform to build digital business applications (see figure). As proponents push into more mission-critical use cases and pro-dev shops look to augment and accelerate traditional environments with new capabilities, low-code is going mainstream. Yet concerns remain &#8212; can low-code deliver software with the appropriate levels of quality, scale, and sustainability?<\/p>\n<figure class=\"image  image-original shortcode-image\"><span class=\"img aspect-set \"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/zdnet2.cbsistatic.com\/hub\/i\/2020\/05\/28\/873d2e1e-2ad4-4e14-971a-cc51b54c1993\/low-code-graphic.jpg\" alt=\"low-code-graphic.jpg\" width=\"582\" height=\"424\" \/><\/span><figcaption>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Advocates and critics alike continue to probe low-code&#8217;s boundaries. An emerging piece of this puzzle is the degree to which apps created with low-code are tested, can be tested, and should be tested. Organizations should not deploy idiosyncratic business applications into production without verifying and validating requirements and functionality. Malfunctioning or mal-developed applications create waste and rework in the most benign instances and revenue loss and brand damage in more serious ones.<\/p>\n<p>The merits of testing do not change in low-code development, but the rigorousness may. The layers of abstraction in low-code development create a somewhat uncharted gray area &#8212; how much traditional testing is still relevant when bundles of code come in precreated components? In cases of customization, how much custom code can be tested in the native low-code platform, and how onerous is it to integrate with existing continuous integration\/continuous deployment tools? These and other testing-related challenges come to light as we work with clients on low-code deployments, and we are exploring the best practices for testing low-code applications in forthcoming research.<\/p>\n<p>Organizations looking to take advantage of low-code&#8217;s heightened speed and collaboration should join this conversation. How an application&#8217;s functionality, productivity, and experience can be tested natively in low-code platforms and\/or whether it should be subject to traditional testing frameworks will help determine which workloads users should target for early low-code projects and which should be shelved for a later date.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"tags\">\n<div><strong>See Campaign: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/the-promising-case-of-low-code-testing\/#ftag=RSSbaffb68\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/the-promising-case-of-low-code-testing\/#ftag=RSSbaffb68<\/a><br \/><b>Contact Information:<\/b><br \/>Forrester Research<\/p>\n<p><b>Tags:<\/b><br \/><a href=\"\"><\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/news-category\/wire\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Wire<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/global-regions\/united-states\/\" rel=\"category tag\">United States<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/language\/english\/\" rel=\"category tag\">English<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\" alt=\"image\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" class=\"cwdfimg\" \/><\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>Contact Information:<\/h3>\n<p>Forrester Research<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Low-code dev platforms have been around for 30 years, but in 2020, adoption has reached an inflection point.
